[clug] Can dpkg install from a url?

[Carlo Hamalainen]

Hi,

I just discovered that RPM can install from a url, e.g.

rpm --import http://elrepo.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-elrepo.org
rpm -Uvh http://elrepo.org/elrepo-release-5-4.el5.elrepo.noarch.rpm

Can dpkg on Debian do the same? I suspect the answer is no, given that
people here are writing wrapper scripts:
