How can I sync installed packages between these PCs?</p> <p>P.S. <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#Comparing_and_syncing_installed_software_between_computers">Ubuntu Software Center already has this feature</a> but it's not working under Mint. </p>enThu, 13 Feb 2014 19:12:01 -0500http://linuxexchange.org/questions/3120/packages-sync-between-pcs/3288<p>If you have one machine downloading and installing the packages, you could use rsync or some other utility to copy them to your other ones (provided they're on the network). apt-get looks for the downloaded packages in /var/cache/apt/archives so that's where you'd copy them from and to. Then when you run 'apt-get dist-upgrade' it won't have to download the files from any remote server again.</p> <p>Or configure the other machines to use your "host" machine as a repository.</p> <p>See Google search results: <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=mint+set+up+local+repo&amp;ie=utf-8&amp;oe=utf-8&amp;aq=t&amp;rls=org.mozilla:en-US:unofficial&amp;client=iceweasel-a">mint set up local repo</a></p>Andy AlkalineThu, 13 Feb 2014 19:12:01 -0500http://linuxexchange.org/questions/3120/packages-sync-between-pcs/3288
