Not quite. apt-rpm, contrary to the name, supported both RPMs and DEBs. However, it was never configured to install DEBs in Fedora, only RPMs through fedora-config-apt. What's happening here is that the apt package is being rebased to the mainline version, which loses the RPM backend (unless someone wants to contribute it upstream, they're interested in having one now...). No configuration to the apt package manager will be included for fetching Debian packages and installing them. The software will merely exist to support cross-build tools used for building Debian packages in clean environments unless an RPM backend is added to a modern version of apt. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
