Subject: [gentoo-dev] RPM installer for Gentoo
Date: Tue, 26 Aug 2003 14:16:50 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3F4BB222.3000503@technaut.darktalker.net> (raw)

Is their currently a script/program out there that will install an RPM 
onto a Gentoo system? I'm not talking about 'rpm --nodeps -i file.rpm'. 
I mean a program that will parse the RPMs dependencies and then use 
portage to try and satisfy those dependencies, write a dummy ebuild, 
then use portage to install it. Yes, I know RPMs are the spawn of Satan. 
No, I do not need this program for myself. I just think it would be an 
interesting project.
