Aptly is a swiss army knife for Debian repository management.

Documentation is available at `http://www.aptly.info/ <http://www.aptly.info/>`_. For support use
mailing list `aptly-discuss <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/aptly-discuss>`_.

Aptly features: ("+" means planned features)

* make mirrors of remote Debian/Ubuntu repositories, limiting by components/architectures
* take snapshots of mirrors at any point in time, fixing state of repository at some moment of time
* publish snapshot as Debian repository, ready to be consumed by apt
* controlled update of one or more packages in snapshot from upstream mirror, tracking dependencies
* merge two or more snapshots into one
* filter repository by search query, pulling dependencies when required (+)
* publish self-made packages as Debian repositories (+)
* mirror repositories "as-is" (without resigning with user's key) (+)
* support for yum repositories (+)

Current limitations:

* debian-installer and translations not supported yet

Download
--------

Binary executables (depends almost only on libc) are available for download from `Bintray <http://dl.bintray.com/smira/aptly/>`_.

If you have Go environment set up, you can build aptly from source by running (go 1.1+ required)::

    go get -u github.com/mattn/gom
    mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/smira/aptly
    git clone https://github.com/smira/aptly $GOPATH/src/github.com/smira/aptly
    cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/smira/aptly
    gom install
    gom build -o $GOPATH/bin/aptly

Aptly is using `gom <https://github.com/mattn/gom>`_ to fix external dependencies, so regular ``go get github.com/smira/aptly``
should work as well, but might fail or produce different result (if external libraries got updated).

If you don't have Go installed (or older version), you can easily install Go using `gvm <https://github.com/moovweb/gvm/>`_.
