If Red Hat was to do this, then it would not be the only case of Red Hat having a package that Debian users desire. From time to time I find a situation where a CentOS kernel works better than a Debian kernel, while I agree that it's ideal to try and get the problem in Debian fixed I also have a need to get machines working and sometimes can't invest the necessary amount of time. There is the "alien" program to convert an RPM to a .deb. Is there a way of also automatically tracking the upstream (Fedora or CentOS) version of the package and downloading a new version (with signature checks) when it becomes available? -- russ...@coker.com.au http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Main Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
