Hi, One of the things that looks difficult on Linux is installing software. We as experienced Debian users know that the most simple way for installation is apt-get based :) So instead of the Windows model (downloading package, installing with per-application installer) we have an installation and configuration framework featuring update possibility. The problem are packages outside our usual apt sources. Now the idea or question is: can we come up with a schema for an URI for apt sources that can be put on webpages instead of the download link. So that, for example, I could go to sourceforge, search for a program, click on an "apt link" in the results and have it added to my sources list.
