How install a package/program with all the dependencies tree to an offline devices ?
Hi,
I have an air gaped[^1] device. ( Devuan )
How do you manage to install packages/software on off-line[^1] device ?
I've heard of apt-offline
but it seem to bug and I don't know if it's still maintained (last release two years ago)
of course I've tried manually but the dependencies relations are too crazy to do that fully manually
Any ideas ?
Thanks.

I'd just mirror the whole repo. All of Debian main for a single architecture is less than a terabyte. I imagine yours is similar.
and then I guess it can even be trimmed somewhat. delete the development packages, look through and filter the unneeded larger ones, ...
