It seems you don't realize that converting from one packaging system to another and hoping the results works correctly in most cases is doomed to failure. Debian Policy is not Redhat Policy (if a such a thing exists). This will suck. Definitely. If you are upstream, I wouldn't advise you to prepare .deb and .rpm for your programs unless you know the packaging system and distribution *well*. Otherwise, the packages will suck. If the software is valuable, someone is going to package it anyway. -- Florent
