use alien to convert the rpms to deb .. not likely avifile would ever make it into debian as it seems to rely on win32 dlls to do playback which are not free, and not open source. of course maybe the opensourced part of avifile could be in and force users to download the dlls seperately.
since avifile is not a very complicated program(no complex config files and stuff), alien should do the job fine .. nate Michael Mertins wrote: > > Hi, > I'd like to 'promote' AviFile a little.
