Pulling new versions of packages
Goal: pull new version of nginx package from backports, add aptly package from 3rd party repository.
Let’s start with mirrors created in first tutorial: wheezy-main,
wheezy-updates and wheezy-security.
Backporting nginx
Create new mirror wheezy-backports:
$ aptly mirror create -architectures=amd64 -filter=nginx -filter-with-deps wheezy-backports http://ftp.ru.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-backports main ... $ aptly mirror update wheezy-backports Downloading http://ftp.ru.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy-backports/InRelease... gpgv: Signature made Thu 09 Oct 2014 02:49:29 PM UTC using RSA key ID 46925553 gpgv: Good signature from "Debian Archive Automatic Signing Key (7.0/wheezy) <ftpmaster@debian.org>" Downloading & parsing package files...

Mirror `wheezy-backports` has been successfully updated.
Once again, I’ve been using filters to reduce download size, but I could’ve create mirror without filter covering whole wheezy-backports repostiroy.
Create snapshot of that mirror:
$ aptly snapshot create wheezy-backports-20141009 from mirror wheezy-backports Snapshot wheezy-backports-20141009 successfully created. You can run 'aptly publish snapshot wheezy-backports-20141009' to publish snapshot as Debian repository.
The magic happens when I ask aptly to pull new version of nginx package from wheezy-backports snapshot
into my wheezy-main snapshot:
$ aptly snapshot pull wheezy-final-20141009 wheezy-backports-20141009 wheezy-main-nginx-20141009 nginx
Dependencies would be pulled into snapshot:
[wheezy-final-20141009]: Merged from sources: 'wheezy-main-7.6', 'wheezy-updates-20141009', 'wheezy-security-20141009'
from snapshot:
[wheezy-backports-20141009]: Snapshot from mirror [wheezy-backports]: http://ftp.ru.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-backports
and result would be saved as new snapshot wheezy-main-nginx-20141009.

Snapshot wheezy-main-nginx-20141009 successfully created.
You can run 'aptly publish snapshot wheezy-main-nginx-20141009' to publish snapshot as Debian repository.
As you can see, aptly has replaced not only nginx package, but all its dependencies that required upgrade.
Now snapshot wheezy-main-nginx-20141009 is Debian wheezy 7.6 plus new version of nginx.
Pulling aptly
In order to add latest version of aptly package from repo.aptly.info mirror, create
and update mirror:
$ aptly mirror create aptly-repo http://repo.aptly.info/ squeeze Downloading http://repo.aptly.info/dists/squeeze/InRelease... gpgv: Signature made Fri 03 Oct 2014 02:35:18 PM UTC using RSA key ID 2A194991 gpgv: Good signature from "Andrey Smirnov <me@smira.ru>" Mirror [aptly-repo]: http://repo.aptly.info/ squeeze successfully added. You can run 'aptly mirror update aptly-repo' to download repository contents. $ aptly mirror update aptly-repo Downloading http://repo.aptly.info/dists/squeeze/InRelease... gpgv: Signature made Fri 03 Oct 2014 02:35:18 PM UTC using RSA key ID 2A194991 gpgv: Good signature from "Andrey Smirnov <me@smira.ru>" Downloading & parsing package files...

Mirror `aptly-repo` has been successfully updated.
In this case I haven’t limited architectures (so both i386 and amd64 were downloaded) and haven’t specified
component name: aptly can figure it out on its own.
Next, create snapshot:
$ aptly snapshot create aptly-0.8 from mirror aptly-repo Snapshot aptly-0.8 successfully created. You can run 'aptly publish snapshot aptly-0.8' to publish snapshot as Debian repository.
And pull latest version of aptly from that snapshot into my wheezy-main-nginx-20141009 snapshot created
in previous section:
$ aptly snapshot pull wheezy-main-nginx-20141009 aptly-0.8 wheezy-main-nginx-aptly-20141009 aptly
Dependencies would be pulled into snapshot:
[wheezy-main-nginx-20141009]: Pulled into 'wheezy-main-7.6' with 'wheezy-backports-20141009' as source, pull request was: 'nginx'
from snapshot:
[aptly-0.8]: Snapshot from mirror [aptly-repo]: http://repo.aptly.info/ squeeze
and result would be saved as new snapshot wheezy-main-nginx-aptly-20141009.

[+] aptly_0.8_amd64 added
Snapshot wheezy-main-nginx-aptly-20141009 successfully created.
You can run 'aptly publish snapshot wheezy-main-nginx-aptly-20141009' to publish snapshot as Debian repository.
I haven’t specified version: aptly would choose latest version by default, also aptly is smart enough
to pull only amd64 package, as my snapshot wheezy-main-nginx-20141009 contains only amd64 packages.
Publishing
So we’re ready to publish new snapshot as Debian repository. This time I would use two prefixes: one for stable version of repository, which is well-tested, and another one for “testing” version that I would like to test on small set of machines before deploying it fully.
Publishing vanilla wheezy distribution from mirroring tutorial as stable version:
$ aptly publish snapshot -distribution=wheezy wheezy-final-20141009 stable ... Snapshot wheezy-final-20141009 has been successfully published. Please setup your webserver to serve directory '/home/smira/.aptly/public' with autoindexing. Now you can add following line to apt sources: deb http://your-server/stable/ wheezy main Don't forget to add your GPG key to apt with apt-key. You can also use `aptly serve` to publish your repositories over HTTP quickly.
I’ve added one more argument on the command line, stable which is publishing prefix (simply
subdirectory to publish under). Now the apt-sources line suggested by aptly contains
that prefix: deb http://your-server/stable/ wheezy main.
And I publish my wheezy + new nginx + aptly repository as testing version:
$ aptly publish snapshot -distribution=wheezy wheezy-main-nginx-aptly-20141009 testing ... Snapshot wheezy-main-nginx-aptly-20141009 has been successfully published. Please setup your webserver to serve directory '/home/smira/.aptly/public' with autoindexing. Now you can add following line to apt sources: deb http://your-server/testing/ wheezy main Don't forget to add your GPG key to apt with apt-key. You can also use `aptly serve` to publish your repositories over HTTP quickly.
I can verify that I have two published repos in different prefixes:
$ aptly serve
Serving published repositories, recommended apt sources list:
# stable/wheezy [amd64] publishes {main: [wheezy-final-20141009]: Merged from sources: 'wheezy-main-7.6', 'wheezy-updates-20141009', 'wheezy-security-20141009'}
deb http://debian:8080/stable/ wheezy main
# testing/wheezy [amd64] publishes {main: [wheezy-main-nginx-aptly-20141009]: Pulled into 'wheezy-main-nginx-20141009' with 'aptly-0.8' as source, pull request was: 'aptly'}
deb http://debian:8080/testing/ wheezy main
After successful round of testing, I can use aptly publish switch to switch by stable published repository
to the new snapshot wheezy-main-nginx-aptly-20141009 and update my target machines.
If I generate the graph, it would look like that:
