* LSB package support. It can generate LSB packages (not guarenteed fully conformant with the LSB), and it can take LSB packages and convert them into other formats. Unlike all the other conversions, lsb packages's dependancy (on lsb) and their package scripts are preserved in the generated packages (when allowed by the target package format). This means your distribution will need to have a package named 'lsb' for the result to be installable. (Debian will have one soon..) * Suggest rpm-lsb, which is the preferred rpm to build lsb packages with. Use it if it's present, plain old rpm otherwise. 2002-02-11 19:19:44 +00:00			`Description: Alien converts Slackware .tgz packages, Red Hat .rpm packages,`

* Added -v to enable verbose mode, which lists each shell command as it is run. Also added --veryverbose for verbose with command output too. * Use -V for version. (-v used to be documented, but never worked) 2003-05-14 22:14:29 +00:00			`80 alien-@version@.tar.gz`
