tlug: Package converter




Just came across this, and thought it might be useful to the list. I
haven't tried it yet.

http://www.kitenet.net/programs/alien/

Alien is a program that converts between the rpm, dpkg, and slackware
tgz file formats. If you want to use a package from another
distribution than the one you have installed on your system, you can
use alien to convert it to your preferred package format and install
it.
