Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: wishlist

It would be nice if there were a way for a webpage to have a link which,
when clicked, makes the user be asked if it is ok to append a line
to the sources.list file and to install a package. Users can download
and install a debian package just by clicking on it, but they will not
get upgrades automaticly if they do that (unless, somehow, the package
is in a repository already).

Hi,

this bug is probably wontfix, it's not a good idea to modify the sources.list 
like this.

However, there is a package, aptlinex, which allows you to install packages 
from a webpage. 

I'm cc:ing the packages maintainer, _maybe_ he might want to support a feature 
like this, where special URLs open a local application to modify 
sources.lists. (Then please reopen and reassign.)


regards,
	Holger
