This is a little trick I use to spin up the packages instalation on Debian/Ubuntu boxes in Vagrant.

I add a simple function that checks if a directory named something similar to ~/.vagrant.d/cache/apt/opscode-ubuntu-12.04/partial (it may have another path in Windows or MacOS) and create the directory if it doesn't already exist.

def local_cache(box_name)
  cache_dir = File.join(File.expand_path(Vagrant::Environment::DEFAULT_HOME),
                        'cache',
                        'apt',
                        box_name)

slow

This bash script offers quick shortcuts to simulate slower network connections. It is useful when you need to simulate a wireless network on a Linux network server, especially when you are using a virtual machine guest on your local machine or in the cloud.

slow 3G                   # Slow network on default eth0 down to 3G wireless speeds
slow reset                # Reset connection for default eth0 to normal
slow vsat --latency=500ms # Simulate satellite internet  with a high latency
slow dsl -b 1mbps         # Simulate DSL with a slower speed than the default

slow modem-56k -d eth0 # Simulate a 56k modem on the eth1 device. eth0 is unchanged.

Use folowing steps to repackage dep package:

1: Extract deb package
    # dpkg-deb -x <package.deb> <dir>

2: Extract control-information from a package
    # dpkg-deb -e <package.deb> <dir/DEBIAN>

3. After completed to make changes to the package, repack the deb
    # dpkg-deb -b <dir> <new-package.deb>
