The Alien package converter: Please read alien's man page for general documentation.
Alien is a program that converts between redhat rpm, debian dpkg, stampede
slp and slackware tgz file formats. If you want to use a package from
another linux distribution than the one you have installed on your system,
you can use alien to convert it to your preferred package format and
install it.
Warning, alien can be dangerous:
Despite the high version number, alien is still (and will probably always
be) rather experimental software. It's been under development for many
years now, but there are still many bugs and limitations.
Alien should not be used to replace important system packages, like
sysvinit, libc, or other things that are essential for the functioning of
your system. Many of these packages are set up differently by the
different distributions, and packages from the different distributions
cannot be used interchangeably. In general, if you can't remove a
package without breaking your system, don't try to replace it with an
alien version.
