Yet if kapt _depends_ (= can not run without it) on Freecell than this might solve part of the problem of having a deb for it since whoever package kapt will probably need to include Freecell in some way or another. > and it is expected that it will be used by PySol and by > GNOME's AisleRiot as well.

Alien allows you to convert Red Hat, Stampede and Slackware Packages into Debian packages, which can be installed with dpkg. . It can also convert into Slackware, Red Hat, and Stampede packages. . This is a tool only suitable for binary packages. Yet I never used alien myself, which is why I can not tell how good it is for your specific task. -- Shaul Karl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hillel used to say: If I am not for myself who will be for me? Yet, if I am for myself only, what am I? And if not now, when?
