Seeking Advice: Managing a Local APT Package Mirror with Custom Tags
Hello everyone,

I'm looking for some advice and best practices on managing a local APT package mirror with custom tags. Here's the scenario I'm working with:

The Goal
I have set up the local APT mirror using apt-mirror, and it works fine for me.

But I need to organize the packages on my local APT mirror with custom tags, allowing client machines to install packages based on these tags. I came across the `debtags` tool, which seems to allow for the manual addition of tags to packages.
However, I'm open to other suggestions or methods that might be more efficient or easier to manage.

Questions

- Has anyone implemented a similar setup using debtags? If so, how did it work out for you?**
- Are there any other tools or methods that you would recommend for managing package tags and installations?**
- How do you handle distributing tag information to multiple client machines efficiently?**
- Any tips on automating this process to reduce manual work?**

I appreciate any insights, experiences, or recommendations you can share.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Best regards,
Samadhan
