[Apt-offline-devel] [ANNOUNCE] apt-offline 0.9.4 released

[Ritesh Raj Sarraf]

Dear Debian Users,

I'm pleased to announce apt-offline version 0.9.4.

Release Highlights
* Finished up most packaging work for Debian
* Fixed a bug in offline bug report handling when using a folder as the install 
argument


apt-offline is an Offline APT Package Manager for APT based systems, i.e. mostly 
Debian and Debian derived distributions.
apt-offline can fully update/upgrade your disconnected Debian box without the 
need of connecting it to the network.

* It works by generating a signature of the disconnected box.
* You carry the signature to a net connected box running anything 
(Windows/Linux/Mac)
* apt-offline downloads all data as per the signature. This includes apt 
database, packages, bug reports. The data can be bundled to a single file to 
carry it easily on a USB stick
* The bundle file is all that is needed on the disconnected Debian box. Apt on 
this box will feel like everything was downloaded the traditional (apt-get 
update/upgrade) way.


apt-offline is available at [1] and the latest 0.9.4 release can be downloaded 
here [2]

Regards,
Ritesh
