Re: [PATCH v2 00/10] Introduce local apt repo to cache upstream debian packages for offline usage

[Henning Schild <henning.schild@siemens.com>]

Hey,

i am kind of missing some context here. Is this really just a cache to
remove deb fetching from the build and allow offline builds? Or is this
somehow targeting reproducable builds?

If the latter is true i would like to see a summary of the earlier
discussions, a detailed description of what is happening and why. All
the commit messages of the series are far from verbose and the doc does
not make it much better.
