Use --local-packages=/var/cache/apt/archive/ on the commandline, or
local_packages=/var/cache/apt/archive/ in a profiles/*.conf file.

You'll also want to make sure to add those packages to
profiles/*.packages.

I think it's only available as a configuration file option, and you may
need several other options as well:

  debian_mirror_extra: if set, also get packages from this mirror

  mirror_components_extra: distribution components to use when getting packages from debian_mirror_extra

  debian_mirror_extra_dist: set the distribution used, if different from
                            the base distribution

  keyring: use specified keyrings (comma-separated) for verifying packages

With keyring, be sure to specify both the base keyring, and your
additional keyring, e.g.:

  keyring=/usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg,/path/to/other/archive/keyring.gpg


I'm fairly sure all these features are supported in the version of
reprepro in Debian Jessie, but I'd recommend trying the newer version of
simple-cdd, as it's much easier to troubleshoot.


live well,
