# Please view 'man debmirror' for extra options, and explanations of options

# Setting variables
arch=i386

# The --nosource option only downloads debs and no deb-srcs

# Start script
debmirror       -a $arch \
                --nosource \
                -s $section \

                --ignore-release-gpg \
                $outPath
# end script.
