[18:26] <GinoManWorks_> Hey, I have an apt question. So I have a bunch of rPis which I administer but they're not connected to the internet. but I want to perform the updates on them so they're caught up with an updated image burned into future rPi units. The form of the update I want to be a set of .debs and an install script that installs them in order which is then tarred and gzed and then attached to the end of a shell script that performs the update. Is that
[18:26] <GinoManWorks_> possible? has anyone ever done something like this before?
[18:27] <genii> !offline
[18:28] <genii> Ah, right, no ubottu here
[18:28] <GinoManWorks_> sorry that didn't go according to plan
[18:28] <GinoManWorks_> maybe I'm crazy for thinking I can do this but...
[18:28] <GinoManWorks_> I figured it was worth the question
[18:29] <genii> GinoManWorks_: "If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. See also !APTonCD"
[18:29] <GinoManWorks_> yes
[18:29] <genii> ...is what the bot would have come back with
[18:30] <GinoManWorks_> ok. What if you don't have synaptic because you have no gui installed
[18:30] <ogra> genii, there used to be one ... not sure why it isnthere
[18:30] <ogra> bug #1
[18:31] <GinoManWorks_> I see a "ubot9"
[18:31] <ogra> (i see it in the user list too)
[18:31] <ogra> yeah
[18:31] <k1l> some time ago some bots were not joining all channels. logbot was missing some channels, too
[18:33] <GinoManWorks_> Yeah, right now synaptic requires X and I don't have any X installed
[18:37] <GinoManWorks_> APTonCD seems promising to a degree but it requires you to basically copy every package on the system now into the external device which would make my script go from being 500 lines to several gigabytes
