Installing Alien Packages
| |
RedHat is certainly the leader in terms of installed base. Some
packages (particularly commercial packages) are available as RedHat
packages (with the rpm extension). These can usually be
installed in Debian with little effort. The alien
package
is required to convert the rpm into deb
format which can then be installed. This is taken care of by
wajig:
$ wajig rpminstall gmyclient-0.0.91b-1.i386.rpm
