I used RPM in Gentoo once a long time ago with some of the DVD encryption libraries and didn't have any problems. The only concern I would have is maintaining 2 software databases.
You could also look into converting those RPMs into tar.gz files and then either install them like that or maybe create your own .ebuild for that tar.gz file. Just emerge app-arch/rpm2targz for the rpm2targz utility. Cheers, Trevor Kevin Anderson said: > So has anyone tried the RPM installer on Gentoo?
