GetDeb.net Repository Makes Newer Ubuntu Apps Easily Available
,----[ Quote ]
| GetDeb's web site has long been the go-to spot
| for Ubuntu (and Debian, and Mint) users to grab
| the latest copies of software not yet released
| by their official repositories. Now GetDeb
| makes it even easier with a repository.

Like GetDeb? Now you can get their packages from a repo
,----[ Quote ]
| One of the best ways to get updated software
| for Ubuntu Linux, as well as other Debian-based
| distros, is from GetDeb.net. I canât tell you
| how many times Iâve used their packages to get
| an update that isnât available from official
| Ubuntu repositories or PPAâs.

Install .rpm Files in Debian and Ubuntu
,----[ Quote ]
| Some time you might find some applications are having only .rpm files but
| you want a .deb package for your debian,Ubuntu and other debian derived
| ditributions.If you can?t find .deb debian package in any of the
| debian,ubuntu repositories or elsewhere, you can use the alien
| package converter to install the .rpm file.
|
| Alien is a program that converts between the rpm, dpkg, stampede slp,
| and slackware tgz file formats. If you want to use a package from
| another distribution than the one you have installed on your system, you
| can use alien to convert it to your preferred package format and install
| it.

Thoughts on Package Management
,----[ Quote ]
| Distros have changed. In the past, they were made up of a small, tightly knit
| group collaborators working toward a common goal. With distributions today we
| now have an informal, large group of collaborators...some of which may not
| even be aware of the main goal of the distro. That informal collaborator may
| just want package foo version 2.2 included in his/her distribution so that
| he/she can use it on their desktop. How does that informal collaborator
| become empowered?
|
| [...]
|
| Imagine KDE and Gnome desktop distro developers working side by side and
| sharing fixes/patches and packages of common shared software...remember, with
| conary repositories, all changes can be seen by both development trees (KDE
| and Gnome) so the changes are automatic when put in place. Instead of having
| to push that fix to both branches of software, conary allows for fixes to be
| automatic between the two desktop development branches.
|
| Work smarter, not harder. Conary can be an incredible tool that can empower
| users to contribute and merge different development trees seemlessly between
| various versions of software.
