My goal is to have an offline anaconda environment on a server (i.e. without internet connection) which is up-to-date with my local anaconda (with internet connection). To initially set up my offline anaconda I have conda-packed my local anaconda environment, transferred it to the server via scp and activated the environment there.
However, when I now install new packages to my local anaconda and want to keep my offline anaconda up-to-date with it, do I need to
- conda-pack the whole environment again or
- can I create e.g. a tar.bz2 file from the current environment revision and do only an incremental update?
Thank you for your help!
