Talking about .deb packages, has anyone had any millage with 'alien' which converts between different package formats? I've never had need to use it, but it may prove useful to those worried about availability of .debs etc.
Yeah, alien seems to work well - it's not perfect because of the impossible task of handling the conversion from redhat deps to debian ones, but I've never had it actually break anything - worst case is that the resulting package doesn't work.
