would it not be easier to just do a build package from source as most of the applications that exist in deb form normally have their source files also available

Hello,

Wonder if exists an APT management software for openSUSE as it was available some years ago.

I would like to interact with DEB packages as well as maintaining the standard RPM.

Thanks.

Cheers,

The idea to search for APT compliant manager born from a personal side interest in having always the latest sun-java (JRE and plugin) installed on my openSUSE, for that I was trying to install the specific script as per this URL:

IIRC in the past there were some packages, one of them was called Alien and the other APT-RPM, which were used as "semi-universal" package managers since they were accepting YUM, RPM, DEB and others packages formats.

That's all.

Have you thought about 'smart'?

Thanks Basil, I heard about SMART years ago but I forgot about it. I think in my case SMART would be a very interesting way to implement APT on openSUSE since I would like just to install the SUN-JAVA installer script; I do not pretend to manage a full mixed APT-RPM system here.
