BTW: There is new Conectiva packager, which should be the best, and builds out of the box. http://zorked.net/smart/FAQ.html Requires python.
Works with .rpm, .deb and pkgtool files and up2date- and Conectiva-style mirror description formats.
I don't like python that much, but I try how to convert our format easily into rpm or deb and how hard it would be to add a wxpython interface. gtk already exists.
