Synopsis

script ::=

Description

Specifies a script to download packages

The script can be wrapper around rsyncs, cp's or wget calls. The script is triggered by the --update-rpms argument of aptate. The rpms that are retrieved by the script must be stored at the location that is specified in the <url> tag.

The script is given 2 arguments, the 1st argument is the <topdir> and the 2nd one is the location where the rpms must be stored. Find below an example of a possible download script.
