hi there, Sorry if the subject is not one for mentors but i think you'llfind it interesting. i would like to make a package for redhat to convert that distribution into a debian one. the machines in which i would like to install are connected to the net so i can make the upgrade via apt . i'd like to keep my old-redhat-/etc dir ( 'cause configurations files seems to be equal for the base packages) and keep the list of rpm-package ( which i try to install in deb version where is possible ). i thought that base files is in tgz format too , so first to install that and then make up an apt staic linked in which i'll put my old-rpm-list (but in deb format) to upgrade .
Does anyone have some suggestion , or know about tools that could help me ? many thanks samuele
