I remember using a program in Debian called 'Alien'. It would convert |
| 11 |
rpm's into .deb, .tar.gz, or convert to .deb install the package and |
| 12 |
remove the .deb it created. It could probably be extended to do the same |
| 13 |
to create .ebuild's. |

I'll download the sources and take a look. |
