Feature changed by: Jeremy Thornton (leebrad) Feature #310567, revision 2 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. - Just an idea, I would like to see comments on its possibility. + 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! -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310567
