Mine are originally based on the former as well, but no longer resemble them in any way. :) If you want to take a look, it's at: http://www.befunk.com/apt/redhat-apt.sh It still needs to be cleaned up and generalized, but it basically looks for a set of directories laid out like: <dir>/<name>/<redhat-tree> ...where <name> is something like "os" or "updates" or "custom" (a general category), and <redhat-tree> is a redhat-like tree, starting with the version number (7.2/en/os/i386 or whatever). This gets turned into an apt repository that gets added to your apt/sources.list like so: rpm http://url-root/ redhat/<codename>-<version> <name> [<name2>] > yes. I'd like to see an apt4rpm archive with lotsa goodies in it :-) I was thinking that if the server-side scripts are made right, each user could even have an "rpm" directory in their home directory that would automatically get turned into and apt repository (not unlike each user having a public_html). So you could have: $HOME/rpm/blah/i386 $HOME/rpm/blah/SRPMS $HOME/rpm/foo/i386 ...and then do: rpm http://www.trilug.org/apt users/ranger blah foo ...and it would all be indexed and apt-ified automatically.
