Hi, We all know that,
,----- | On Debian and derived systems it is recommended to use "alien" to | convert RPM packages into .deb format instead of bypassing the Debian | package management system by installing them directly with rpm. `----- However, I'm wondering if it OK to install RH packages directly using rpm instead of going through alien convention. The reason that I'm asking is that, - I'm installing a preparatory sw. It is only available in RH/Suse rpm packages. - There is a complicated installation script (think of being more complicated than VMWare), and rpm installation is just one of its single line. - The only dependencies of the sw is actually JRE, so I'm hope I would avoid the infamous RH dependency hell. But there is still one dependency there, and I don't know how to satisfy that. Do you have any similar experiences?
