First of all, sorry, I hadn't enough time to take a look at the import scripts at all...

Just for curiosity. Is it theoricaly possible to adapt dCore scripts to specify other distro stables (iex Ubuntu, Fedora, Archlinux, whatever..), instead of Debian repository?

Should we able to build a custom fCore using Fedora stable repo?

I know it's not supposed to work that way, nor should be a recommended thing to do. There's a great reason to choose Debian.

uggla:
It would be cool to have a distro that's able to import packages from several different distributions. It might end up in a big mess though.

vinnie:
I do not know what's in the script but based on what I think it is not possible, the various distributions have differences in the structure of the file system that make them incompatible with each other.
However, I remember a distro called Yoper that allowed the installation of deb and rpm package

curaga:
This is all reminding me of a certain other light distro ;)

pioj:
There should exist a universal package manager capable to extract the files of most popular fileformats in order to let any user adapt them to their custom structure. Almost every package delivers the same binary files...

Right now it remains nearly impossible for a beginner to get any program from the Internet that doesn't come in a repository.


ITOH, I miss the info from packages that we had in ab from the main Core. I still haven't found any way to get their info from the import script.
