The user has to: wget file.rpm (or .tgz) alien -i file.rpm Alien does the rest, by either generating the standard debian packaging that works most of the time, or, if there is a patch file in /usr/share/alien/patches that matches the file, applying the patch, which creates a customized debian/ directory and debian/rules, and then using that to build the package. Currently alien has patch files for j2sdk, motif, and openmotif. -- see shy jo
