aptly is a tool to create partial and full mirrors of remote repositories, manage local repositories, filter them, merge, upgrade individual packages, take snapshots and publish them back as Debian repositories. aptly's goal is to establish repeatability and controlled changes in a package-centric environment. aptly allows to fix a set of packages in a repository, so that package installation and upgrade becomes deterministic. At the same time aptly allows to perform controlled, fine-grained changes in repository contents to transition your package environment to new version.
