Feature changed by: Jeremy Thornton (leebrad) Feature #310567, revision 3 Title: DEB/RPM Integration openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jeremy Thornton (leebrad) Description: Of course we all know that linux is great and a reliable system but the latest focus is trying to get new users to adopt it. Is it possible from a developer standpoint to integrate a system including packages like alien for deb etc, that would allow SUSE to user either deb or rpm packages or better yet introduce a brand new file type say .lnx for linux (easier since the intro for SUSE build service) to begin a movement that would allow packages to be cross compatible between linux - systems so long as the kernel version is suppported? This would bring a - unifying and innovative solution to a common issue for linux systems. - Of course a standard would have to be set on the binaries to ensure - proper dependency resolution between systems would be accomplished, but - SUSE might actually be able to lead the way! Just an idea, I would like - to see comments on its possibility. And of course with a possible - acquirer of Novell on the way, it might just be something the new - company would be behind to bring more attention to the product! + systems so long as the kernel version is suppported? + This would bring a unifying and innovative solution to a common issue + for linux systems.
