No, I wasnt saying to convert debian to rpm, I was saying to offer debian
packages in rpm format so someone with a readhat system could install some
of them.
Example, Red Hat has no well-configured smail, cnews, nntp, uucp. If
debian packages could be converted to rpm, a person with a Red Hat could
possibly install the better debian packages.
I am not saying to convert the debian archive to rpm.
