[tde-users] Re: feature request - a way to download *all* TDE-Trinity packages for a system

I don't know if this is totally selfish and/or solipsistic of me, but I would like to have a way to download *all* available packages appropriate to my system. If there is some command that will do this, that will work, as I can pick and choose on my own. A tool like aptoncd would be better, but I can find anything like it any more. Best thing about images created with aptoncd is that apt treats them exactly like repositories, so I don't need to cobble together self-styled hacks and use dpkg, but can just depend or apt to find the right combination of packages and dependencies. Debian still offers, I believe, extra CD or DVD images of the extra packages in their repositories. In addition to the installation images, there are usually extra discs, 1, 2, 3 and 4, containing extra packages. I used to search all over Devuan to find the same, but now it seems that they, too, have caught up, and offer disc images of extras. Or perhaps I have only recently discovered where they keep them hidden? My reason for this request is related to my recent previous posts: sometimes I find myself in a remote place, or in a crazy situation, where there is no internet access, or where -- such as recently -- flooding or some other disaster has knocked out internet. Yet, while I have no internet, I still need to have a working computer for other things that I do offline; and now, suddenly, my machine gives me problems, and I need to do a system reinstallation, or at least to install some new and unfamiliar packages. Thanks for any help, Bill ____________________________________________________
