We all know how difficult it is to install software on offline Ubuntu/Debian computers. It can be done using aptoncd, but it also requires that the online computer have Ubuntu/Debian. There are cases where the only way to download software is through Windows. When I started using linux this was the case and had to hunt down each dependency manually.
So I created offapt, it implements certain features of apt like downloading and parsing index files, resolving dependencies and a downloader for Windows and other systems.
The basic idea is to fetch info about the offline Ubuntu/Debian computer, copy it to the online machine and then download packages using offapt.
This is my first software release so it may be buggy.
