[osgeo4w-dev] Download from mirror?

[Matt Wilkie]

It's just two files. Save 
http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/export/1170/trunk/apt/apt.py as 
%OSGeo4w_root%\bin\apt.py (default is C:\OSGeo4W)

Then create batch file %OSGeo4w_root%\bin\apt.bat with the following 
content:

    @python "%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\bin\apt.py" %*

 From there you can run something like the following from inside an 
osgeo4w command shell:

    apt --mirror=http://download_alternate.osgeo.org update
    :: or  apt --mirror=file:///path/to/package/mirror update
    apt available | more
    apt install gdal17 gdal17-python (etc...)

cheers,

matt wilkie
