  • Similar to YAY...

    From Shane O'Neill@1:305/3 to All on Wed Apr 22 19:01:00 2020
    So I have gotten spoiled/use to YAY in Manjaro and guess I am missing the
    boat on this for the Debian family.

    My question is, is there anything in the Debian/Ubuntu world that is like YAY to make package download/install/etc.. soo easy?

    I have no clue what YAY is, but the package manager for debian is apt-get (or apt).
    (it internally uses dpkg)

    i prefer to use aptitude... it seems to handle dependencies better... if i absolutely have to use a GUI package manager, i use synaptic, muon (KDE?), or similar...

    I used aptitude myself in Debian a while ago, I liked that one.

    I guess my issue is maybe in Debian I am not tapping into the right repositories. With YAY I was able to install Syncterm and Netrunner super
    easy through YAY. When I used Debian or Ubuntu seemd the Repositories I
    pulled from never had Syncterm and Netrunner so I had to manually download
    and compile. Again with YAY in Manjaro all I had to do in terminal was enter in "YAY -S syncterm" and it downloaded and compiled it super easy.

    So guess my question now switches to, how to avoid manually downloading syncterm and then having to manually compile it? Is there Repository that has syncterm and or Netrunner for Debian?
