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'?

What the original poster is looking for, I think, is the Alien RPM package. Use zypper to install alien, then use alien to pull the needed files from DEB packages and install the files using RPM methods and the RPM database. The alien man page is thorough and well-written, and includes examples. -- JAY VOLLMER I write technical manuals; therefore, I am a manual laborer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
