The most recent nightly for OpenSuse 11.4 64bit crash on start

<< < (3/3)

Freem:
I do not know if my idea will be ok or not, but with Debian, we have a package which allow us to manage rpm files.
Maybe you can check if suse have something to play with deb files?

On the "rpm" description in aptitude, I also have seen a reference to a software named "alien" which seem to allow to convert LSB, Red Hat, Stampede and Slackware packages in Debian's one. It also seem to be able to generate packages in previously cited packages. Maybe this could be an idea.

I also know that there is somewhere something to unify all our package systems. Does not remember the name however. Maybe you could check in your package manager if you can find something like that.

Another solution could be to simply untar the deb you can find on jens's repo.
deb files are just archives, so you can next move files where they can be detected by system. The problem is that this is not automated at all and a really dirty.

And if you find a suitable solution that works, please share it, maybe it could be in the wiki.

Freem: Using deps on rpm base distro for an open source project is just insane...

rialmat:
1. You have to build from source
2. You have to build from source and make package. Use make dist + rpmbuild I guess, search the docs of suse.
3. Talk to the package provider what other repo packages are needed.

rialmat:
Thank you guys for the help!
I have one more question: where can I download the latest night on the DEBUGGER BRANCH?

oBFusCATed:
There is not such nightly anymore as the debugger branch have been merged in trunk.
