View from the Trenches: Alternative Package Sources (Linux Journal)

[Posted October 15, 2003 by corbet]

The Linux Journal looks at alternative package sources for popular distributions. "For the Debian folks, punch up Apt-get.org (of course) and have yourself a blast. This is not your ordinary package search engine; search for a program here, and it returns not links to individual packages, but the appropriate deb lines for your sources.list file. It also serves links so you can find what other packages are in the same repository and a rating as to the current status of the repository."
