pkg to rpm, easy?

It is possible and easy convert a pkg to a Fedora's rpm?

I suspect it's possible, but I'd suggest you ask in a more Fedora-ish place. Someone here may know, but as you are essentially asking how to create a rpm, it's not really an Arch question.

Re: pkg to rpm, easy?

Arch PKGBUILDs are basically just lists of the commands required to compile and install the software. these commands can likely be hacked into an rpm format, but I don't know how RPMs are made (I know how to make .debs, and its horrid compared to Arch).

You're probably asking if this can be done automatically; I don't think this is currently possible.

Re: pkg to rpm, easy?

Thanks Dusty, I found some rpm tutorials and I think it is not hard doing one. But I need a Fedora Core machine and I have none where I am root... :S

Anyhow, thanks.
