Hi,

we're running multiple database machines with Ubuntu 10.04 and 12.04. The version of postgres in the official repositories is quite old, therefore we'd like to use this nice repo you provided.
We're using reprepro to mirror
the official ubuntu repos and to provide an internal separate repository for our custom made packages.
We would like to make a newer version of postgres available by placing the debian packages from your repository into ours, so to have maximum control over which version gets installed in our machines and avoid a new version of postgres from being available at every synch. Since the packages and the dependencies are many and I don't want to take the risk of missing some (by manually fetching each package from you repo), is there any script that downloads the main debian package and its dependencies?
I'm no expert of repositories in general or of reprepro, so I'm open to any suggestion. Maybe this could be done in a better, automated way with reprepro itself :)

Thanks for your time!

Nicola
