I remember that, and I also remember that my problem with it was that it |
5 |
required root access and the commands for all the packages (rpm etc). I'd |
6 |
much prefer something which parsed the RPM format itself and didn't need to |
7 |
extract them. The simplest way, I think, to do this would be to write a |
8 |
rpmextract (or similar; not a full blown RPM, but just an extractor) and have |
9 |
the auto generated ebuilds use the RPMs in distfiles... The problem would |
10 |
come in if we wanted to automate compiling a source RPM... Though for all I |
11 |
know they could come with compiliation instructions. I think DEBs do... |
