Well, not really. But there is a fascinating article on arstechnica that talks about work being done by Debian developers that would facilitate such a convergence. See http://arstechnica.com/archive/news/1067056799.html. 2 exciting developments out of the Debian camp: The porting of RedHat's installer software to Debian (and to work with apt) and the modification of apt to seamlessly work with both dpg and rpm packages. This combined with closer following of the Linux Standards Base, should make life a lot easier for debian users wanting to install redhat-specific packages (say a commercial product) or redhat users wanting to install debian packages (of which there are many) without hacking them through a converter program like alien.
I'm not sure on the details, but I would like to see something in RPM that would try to bridge dependencies across debs and rpms in a sane but flexible manner. -- Michael Torrie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
