Linux repos
Has anyone worked out to how create their own local mirror or access an alternative mirror for the readynas Linux apt repos?

Answering my own question:-
Sort out your own /etc/apt/sources.list file
sudo apt-get install apt-mirror
edit /etc/apt/mirror.list to define the repos you want to download (from your assumed working /etc/apt/sources.list file)
sudo apt-mirror
I'm starting to worry that Netgear will drift even further away from their current level of support for poor Readynas users. Admittedly that support is near zero, but taking servers offline could happen.

Their ReadyNAS repos are already off-line (at least they were the last time I checked).

Which one specifically? I thought I had managed to mirror the ones I needed, but now you worry me!
