rpms and debs have dependency information, it must be available at some point |
| 16 |
during the conversion process (it's transferred between rpm <-> deb). So it |
| 17 |
should be trivial to build the {P,R}DEPEND info from that to create a simple |
| 18 |
ebuild. |
| 19 |
The conversion process can ask the category, or default to something sensible |
| 20 |
like app-converted maybe ? |
