I hope I'm not asking for something that has been re-hashed a few dozen times, but a Google search hasn't turned much up, and this is a bit of an irritant.
How would one go about setting up a local partial APT mirror? One that mirrors only specific trees (such as stable and testing), and can exclude arbitrary types of packages (such as source or PA-RISC binaries)? I've looked at Absurd's scripts, but they seem designed for the older APT structure, and aren't happy with the pool at all. I'd like to set up a machine at my place-of-Ork that I can throw this partial mirror on, and then have all the Debian boxen we use point to it instead of at the Debian servers, thus using less of our (and the Debian Project's) available bandwidth.
