I'm trying to set up an APT repository on my local network that will work similar to apt-mirror except, I don't want to mirror an entire repository, I only want to serve specific packages of my choosing. I need to be able to download the packages I want from the public APT repositories and serve them from mine. I've had a look into apt-mirror, apt-cacher and reprepo.   Apt-mirror doesn't look like it will work as it mirrors an entire repository and automatically downloads updates, which I want to do manually. Apt-cacher just caches packages downloaded by people on the network so that's not what I'm looking for either. Reprepro looks like it is what I want but I can't figure out how make it serve packages I download from public repositories. Everything I have managed to find uses reprepro to create, sign and serve your own packages that aren't in official repositories.  How would I go about setting this up and adding specific packages? I don't want to resign the packages myself, I would rather leave them signed by the public repository.  I would also like to control what happens if the client tries to install a package that is not in this repository, I'm not sure what exactly I want to do in this situation yet but I'm tossing up between blocking/disallowing the download, and redirecting them to the public repository.  EDIT: For this to work would I need each package to be set-up exactly the same as it is on the public repository? ie. Would it need to be in the same sub directories (stable, testing, main, contrib, etc) and have the same entry in the packages.gz file? If so, how would I find out all this information about the package and is there an automatic way to ensure it is correct in my repository? Much like apt-mirror/apt-cache how they automatically copy the official repo?
I would like to set up an APT repository on a server that will provide a couple of packages.  Is there a way to set one up without installing any software on the server?  How do the files have to be organized?    Edit: I must be doing something wrong... can someone please help me? I have the repository at   I'm not sure where or what, but something's misconfigured. I only currently have one package and it's for all architectures.  Here's what's been added to my /etc/apt/sources.list:  deb http://quickmediasolutions.com/apt stable main
How can I install .exe files of Windows 7 or more in Ubuntu? I want to run/install .exe files that require Windows 7 or higher in Wine on Ubuntu.   When I try to install a specific .exe file on Wine, it says      Windows version is not supported! You can install it in Windows 7 or higher.   How can I configure which Windows version (XP, Vista, 7, 8, ...) Wine emulates? In the sentence      It's one of the best films that has/have ever been made   What should the verb agreement be? How to delay a command block I have created a short command block stack, one block teleports the player and the other plays block.piston.extend. My problem is that it teleports the player before the player can hear the sound. I would like to know if there is a way to delay the command from inside that command block. I have looked at other solutions but they all involve some complex scoreboard timer thing. If you could give me a solution that doesn't use that system or maybe you could explain it better.  This is the command I need to delay:  /tp @p -586.634 64 -430.697   If anyone could help I would really appreciate it, so thanks in advance! How to set up beamer to grey out past items but hide future items? Is Iron Man stronger than the Hulk? In Avengers: Endgame, when Hulk initially uses the new Infinity Gauntlet, it takes a tremendous effort from him (in addition to almost burning his entire arm), in order to snap his fingers and restore the world as we knew it. Yet at the end of the movie, when Iron Man uses the Gauntlet, it seems very easy for him to snap his fingers.  How was Tony able to wield the stones with such ease when Hulk was clearly struggling with it? Colored borders around windows after update How do I theme a webform? Was Daenerys actually trying to hatch the eggs? I was reading @Aegon' s response   and I realized that I've never been clear on whether Dani was intentional in her pyre building to do blood magic and wake the dragons, or if she was just grieving Drogo and killing Mirri and her statement about "only death can pay for life" was a slap in the Maegi's face, since in the end she sacrificed her unborn child for the husk of Drogo.    I know she had tried baking the eggs previously and had felt like they could hatch then, but was clearly disappointed and chastised herself for foolishness when they did not. I don't recall inner monologue or statements after that where she said, "ya know what I should have done..."   I guess what I'm asking is whether there is evidence outside her statement to the Maegi that she was intentional in her blood magic rite or if the miracle was a happy accident? How to input integer value to an array, based preceeding row + column values? How to customise GNOME default background and lock screen image? I am building a Custom ISO of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS using CUBIC and I'd like to change the default background and lock screen image.  I added the backgrounds in /usr/share/backgrounds, changed the background in /usr/share/gnome-background-properties/ubuntu-wallpapers.xml file, but it does not seems to affect new users (for example the OEM user).  Also, I did not find any way to change the lock screen image. Use the new helpcenter for the question/answer ban message Related:    The helpcenter has . It still links to the  for further details.

Question: Find the structure of the group $Gal(\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_{15})/\mathbb{Q})$  I know that if $p$ is prime then $G=Gal(\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_{p})/\mathbb{Q})=\mathbb{Z_{p}}^*$ but when $p$ is not prime, I am not show how to solve this if not prime.  Does my required group have any relation to some cyclic group $\mathbb{Z_n}$, i.e. abelian  Would really appreciate your guidance as I have not got my head around these concepts of cyclotomic fields and Galois structure. Thanks At what port did Lorance Effler born about 1787 in Germany come to the US? I am trying to set multiple definition queries for one layer based on one field using python.  ie.  I have a City layer with a field that holds the city name.  I want a copy of the layer in an MXD with the Definition query set for each value in the City field.  So essentially, I have one source layer, with a copy of the layer as many times as there are values in the City field.  The query would look like this: CITY = 'Atlanta' How to auto-start unprivileged lxc containers? On Ubuntu 14.04, I have created an unprivileged container that I can manually start and stop.  But I would like this to start and stop along with the system.  I have added the following to the container's configuration:  lxc.start.auto = 1 lxc.start.delay = 5   However, the system scripts don't seem to pick unprivileged containers.  There is  related to this on linuxcontainers.org, but the solution seems to be restricted to root user.  Is there a clean way to do this for a non-root user (with root user's consent)? Convergence in probability implies convergence on a subsequence almost surely.  But this means we fix a subsequence, such that $X_{n_k}$ converges for almost every $\omega$, right? The subsequence we pick does not depend on the $\omega$ right? Is there a difference between DR/evil and DR/unholy? What is the strict aliasing rule? Word for resembling the truth How do we refer to the act of resembling the truth, regardless if it is indeed the truth?  Some context: suppose you are watching a film and the story bears a striking resemblance to "real life". Perhaps you remember similar events from your own background or the story has a strong internal coherence. So you feel that the story could be true, even though you know it is fictional. Or, as the legend has it, when Michelangelo finished his "Pietà" and the sculpture seemed so "real" and "natural" to him, that he was amazed that the sculpture couldn't talk. One last example: you hear the promises of a politician in election campaign and he seems to be telling the truth, but of course you have no way to figure out, beforehand, if he is being honest or not.  The word "likelihood" comes to mind, but this word suggests some kind of numerical (even statistical) evaluation, which is akin to "probability". The word I am looking for describes the feeling you get, which leads to a subjective "binary" judgement (either it resembles the truth or not).  In Portuguese, such word is "verossimilhança" (from Latin verum, truth + similis, similar). I want to draw a perfect rectangle. How can I do that with QGIS v.3+?  .  Is there a similar solution for the latest QGIS version?
