I'm looking to include a few packages from an ubuntu mirror into my own custom apt repository.

Context:

Using Reprepro, I currently have the following distribution:

Origin: Private Repository
Label: Private Repository
Description: Private Repository
Suite: production
Codename: trusty
Components: main
Architectures: amd64
SignWith: A1AAA1A

Our custom package gets included with:

reprepro -b . includedeb trusty <packagename>

Problem:

What I'm looking to do is to add the libre2-1 packages from http://eu-west-1.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/vivid/universe/ into the same distribution, but I can't figure out how to do this. My hunch is that I need to configure conf/updates to mirror the repository, using a FilterList to define the packages I want, but I can't figure out how to get reprepro to parse the mirror.

Seems the best answer is a working example

  1. Configuration files

    conf/distributions

    Codename: trusty
Components: main universe
Architectures: amd64
#Update: test1
Pull: pull1

Codename: vivid
Suite: production
Components: universe
Architectures: amd64
Update: update1

    conf/updates

    Name: test1
Suite: trusty
Method: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
Components: main
Architectures: amd64
VerifyRelease: blindtrust
FilterList: deinstall list

Name: update1
Suite: vivid
Method: http://eu-west-1.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
VerifyRelease: blindtrust
Components: universe
Architectures: amd64
FilterList: deinstall list1

    conf/pulls

    Name: pull1
From: vivid
FilterList: deinstall list1

    Lists have same format of dpkg --get-selections > list

    conf/list

    gedit                       install
geany                       deinstall

    conf/list1

    libre2-1    install

  2. Commands needed:

    reprepro update trusty
reprepro update vivid
reprepro pull trusty

    For short, you can run: 

    reprepro update
reprepro pull
