Can't apt-get myphpadmin?!!?

[JockVSJock]

Trying to apt-get myphpadmin, and keep timing out against ftp2.de.debian.org

Any other repisitories that I can add to my apt get sources file?

thanks

Thanks for the answer.

How is one to know what a good apt-get source is or to keep their source file up to date?

apt-spy

man apt-spy says:

apt-spy is a program that tests a series of Debian archive mirrors for
bandwith. It writes an /etc/apt/sources.list with the fastest server.


You can select which of the many Debian sites to benchmark by geograph-
ical location.

I am familiar with apt-spy but didn't know a person could use it to update source list.

When I did try to update source list using apt-spy, then ran apt-get update, and apt-get install myphpadmin, its output is now telling me that myphpadmin isn't a package that I can get....

bizarre.

apt-cache search php|grep admin;)

No you don't need an installer for alot of things. You chose to use that word. Packaging systems simply make life easier. What's faster?

Command line interface:

apt-get install phpmyadmin

OR

How many clicks (and how much time) does it take......
Click your link, (search for the file), click the file (hopefully you don't need a mirror too!), then you copy the script over. What if you're working on a remote box? You may very well be hosed if you need a browser. The point is, by the time you find the file w/ a browser apt-get already has it installed.

Additionally, let's not forget that we have now also learned a new and valuable way to use or friend the Debian package management system affectionately know as apt. Now the next time JockVSJock wants a package but doesn't know exactly what it's called he can find it alot easier.

By the way, what is
www rep??
