Talk:APT repository
Could at least a simple .tar.bz2 be made available? There's a goddamn lot of linux beyond .deb based distros. --193.144.63.50 10:37, 12 April 2010 (PDT)
- And thankfully, most of them have working compilers. What are we supposed to do, take one of our Debian binaries and put it in a tarball? I think not! TX 15:51, 12 April 2010 (PDT)
Actually, those binaries will (usually) work just fine on most Linux systems. Thankfully, "alien" translates package formats. ("alien" is available as source and is a part of virtually ALL Linux distros)
It WOULD be handy for other distro users to have a browsable link to the apt packages...
