Hello Debian community, I have been looking for a guide to convert an rpm package (specifically a kernel - ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/master/x86_64/kernel-xen.rpm) over into a deb binary or even a tarball will work for me.
Unfortunately my internet searches are resulting in very old means to accomplish this task. http://ace-host.stuart.id.au/russell/files/debian/sarge/kern2deb/ http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-to-extract-an-rpm-package-without-installing-it.html I have tried "alien -t myrpmfile.rpm" and "rpm2cpio myrpmfile.rpm | cpio -idmv" with no success. Therefore I was hoping someone could devise a quick how to for making recent rpm based kernels into a debian binary. Your time with this matter would be GREATLY appreciated! -M _________________________________________________________________
