Suggest lzma. If not installed, alien will still fail to decompress RPMs using it, but will support most rpms, which are not.

Removed all built-in patches for converting specific packages (j2sdk, jdk, lgtoclnt, motif) with alien. These were out of date, and not maintained. Alien will not include such patches going forward.

Recent versions of rpm (such as 4.7.0) ignore the buildroot setting in
the spec file. Use the --buildroot option to ensure the correct
buildroot is used.

Modify maintainer scripts from rpm files to use /bin/bash rather than /bin/sh. Many such scripts are only tested on systems where /bin/sh is bash, and contain bashisms, which can cause trouble when converting the rpm to be used on eg, the Debian family of distributions, where /bin/sh can legitimatly be dash.
