It's been some time since I last been deeper into Gentoo but I spoke with a Gentoo developer today. He doesn't know of such a tool either but Gentoo uses some functions in ebuilds which are quite like debhelper and friends. We both think it's possible to convert an ebuild into a Debian source package (.orig.tar.gz + .diff.gz) with some effort. You would need to build the .deb(s) using the Debian build tools because ebuilds are just a "build instruction" similar to debian/rules, so you don't have binaries you can use (in contrast to convert RPM into .deb). That obviously would just produce something that maybe compiles (and even works); nevertheless I doubt that one gets good quality packages out of it. > Can dpkg manages other package formats than .deb? I'm just a dpkg user but AFAIK it can't. Best regards Manuel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
