2016-12-08 mcpegamer lukanc Does not work with some apt-get commands like UPDATE. Should get support for all commands. PPA: support would be nice.

2015-12-09 Vanessa Michelle Faxanadu Okay... handles text links with "apt-get whatever" perfectly. But it does NOT handle apt:// URLs like I thought it would! That's the only reason why I got this! EDIT: boyfriend of mine submitted your first GitHub issue about this! https://github.com/Ferk/apt-linker/issues/1
