Description:
alien - Install Red Hat, Stampede, and Slackware Packages with dpkg.
Closes: 40012 116754
Changes:
alien (7.30) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Thanks to the excellent work of Mark A. Hershberger <mah@everybody.org>,
alien now supports converting to and from Solaris "pkg" packages (which
are really SysV packages). You probably need to run it on Solaris for this
to work, though. This brings the number of possible conversions alien can
do up from 12 to a monstrous 20!
* Mark also had to patch Deb.pm a bit so the by-hand deb extraction could
work with solaris's ar and tar.
* Documented the EMAIL environment variable. Closes: #116754
* Threw out a lot of old patches, circa 1999. Probably useless today.
* When converting to debs, move files as follows, if possible, for better
FHS compliance:
/usr/man => /usr/share/man
/usr/info => /usr/share/info
/usr/doc' => /usr/share/doc
* Also moves files as follows, to avoid possibly confusing dpkg with
installing over symlinks (?). Closes: #40012
/usr/bin/X11 should be /usr/X11R6/bin
/usr/lib/X11 should be /usr/X11R6/lib/X11
/usr/include/X11 should be /usr/X11R6/include/X11
* Reverse these moves in the cleantree stage.
* Debian users who have installed alien packages in the past may want to
re-convert and reinstall them, to take advantage of the new FHS
conversions.
