Partial mirroring

[Jorge Solórzano]

Hi Kormos,

If your intention is to have only a repository for your internal servers
you are probably better using a cache instead of a full mirror.

I use apt-cacher-ng and it make a great job, it works making a proxy cache
for the packages downloaded, if you download a package the first time from
internet it will be in cache so all other ubuntu download it directly from
the cache.

Having a partial mirror is not a good solution for your use case since you
will be wasting space and bandwith downloading packages that you probably
won't use.
