Hi Ubuntu team,

It's nice meeting you all here. :-)

 

Kindly help me in resolving an issue.

 

How to convert .rpm package to .deb package without using alien.

Actually I have the source to build in .src.rpm format, I know how to
build .rpm file from this source but I don't know how to build in
debian.

Waiting for solution... help me out

Hi S at m,

The only way to convert a .rpm (even a source one) into a .deb is to use
alien. The other alternative is to build your own .deb from the source.
If the .deb is just for internal/personal use then you might want to use
checkinstall to create it, however there are many caveats with
checkinstall and it may not function correctly.

Thanks Nick
