is there a direct "one command" way to fetch a .deb file from an alternate repository named on an apt-add-repository without actually adding a (that) repository to your sources, like maybe a direct URL download from that repository?
rephrasing the question:
based on many useless answer google found for me and the way some of them were asked:
given the name (or hostname) of a debian/ubuntu repository, and a package name (and architecture and distro version), is there a way to construct an HTTP URL that can be fetched to download the .deb file? i might like to download it in a user that has no sudo privileges and/or on a different host.
i am NOT wanting any suggestions for tool to download files based on URLs. i already have such a tool that does what else i need.
