Chris Thanks for bringing this up again, I have done preliminary work on this, but know that it'll only take a little more time/effort to at least get something out the door. I'll try and have some status to report next week.
Doug Take a look at the tar, and also grab this one: http://www.cvt.dk/~cht/fedora/debianisation/fedora_2.2.1-debianisation.tar.gz - from there I want to continue to 'reverse engineer' their current .deb to just use 3.x instead of 2.x. After we have a deb that can do that we can test it, and then make hard decisions like a default setup, Debian specific pathing standards (/var/lib/fedora, etc), what DB to use, what kind of functions should be on/off by default, and this is where I got stuck before. I want to simplify it now so we have something done, even if it's imperfect and has a big post-install file for a user to get rolling with for starters, it will at least be the first step. I documented some of what I think we can use as an install.property file to automate the installer, which should be the only thing we'll need to tweak for the stage one deb (I think), see here: http://phil.cryer.us/code/fedora_30_install.txt Feel free to email me if you'd like to partner on this effort, thanks.
