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.

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

I used smart some years ago when it was just being developed and it could handle all repos. It is now at version 4 I believe and I thought that it may now have what the OP is looking for.

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.
