[gentoo-user] Best way to install RPMs on Gentoo

2005-12-22 Thread Tom Smith 
I've got a couple of RPM-based programs to install (there's also an 
option to install their .deb equivalent).


What is the best way to install the RPMs on Gentoo? I personally prefer 
apt from Debian but couldn't find that in Portage. The only thing I was 
able to locate with rpm. The main thing I'm looking to do is maintain 
full compatibility with Gentoo, rather than having init scripts put rc.x 
directories and such.


Thanks in advance for your help.

You could try 'app-arch/rpm2targz', then install by hand in  /usr/local .
