Re: [tbox-l] apt repository?

[David C. <cl...@au...>]

There are not any plans for an apt repository.

If you are looking for alternative methods of downloading, you might want
to try the "update_tbox" script a try, from the contrib directory.  It 
compares the versions of packages installed on your system with what is
available at the Toolbox FTP site, lists anything not current, and offers
to install them interactively or automatically.  Its main drawback is that it
cannot check/download things from the cryptographic-content site, but that
is only a small subset of the Toolbox images.  The script is at:
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/contrib/update_tbox

If you have a lot of free space and want to keep a local copy of
everything, there is also the wget --mirror option.  See "info wget" for
information and options for doing that.
