With YAY I was able to install Syncterm and Netrunner super       easy through YAY. When I used Debian or Ubuntu seemd the Repositories I       pulled from never had Syncterm and Netrunner so I had to manually download       and compile. Again with YAY in Manjaro all I had to do in terminal was enter       in "YAY -S syncterm" and it downloaded and compiled it super easy.               So guess my question now switches to, how to avoid manually downloading       syncterm and then having to manually compile it? Is there Repository that has       syncterm and or Netrunner for Debian?              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A46 2020/03/02 (Windows/32)        * Origin: 8-Bit Boyz BBS! -=[ bbs.8bitboyz.com port:6502 ]=- (1:305/3)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 90/1 114/705 120/340 601 226/30 227/114 229/426       SEEN-BY: 229/616 1014 240/5832 249/206 317 400 280/464 292/854 298/25       SEEN-BY: 305/3 317/3 322/757 342/200       PATH: 305/3 317/3 229/426           |
