Yes, you can use it to mirror packages by using the following: slapt-get –available|awk ‘{print $1}’|xargs -r slapt-get –download-only \ –reinstall –install The packages will then be mirrored under ${ROOT}/var/slapt-get in the directory structure they where found in. You can then generate the PACKAGES.TXT and CHECKSUMS.md5 files using the script in FAQ #17 which would allow you to use this mirror as a slapt-get source. Optionally, you can set this directory as your WORKINGDIR in order to avoid copying the package files.
