alien:deb(ubuntu/debian)与rpm(centos/fedora)转换工具

deb 与 rpm 是GNU/Linux 流行的软件包格式。我们“alien”可以在rpm\dpkg\slackware tgz\deb\slp 格式见进行转换。

Debian/Ubuntu 可使用下面命令安装alien:

sudo apt-get install alien

从RPM转到DEB

举例:假设在目录/tmp 有myprogram.rpm 文件,使用下面命令转换:

sudo alien /tmp/myprogram-1.10-2.i386.rpm

myprogram-1.10-3.i386.deb generated

这时,在/tmp 目录下就会发现有 myprogram.deb ,这时就可以使用dpkg安装:

dpkg -i /tmp/miprogramma.deb

从DEB转到RPM

直接添加参数-r进行转换即可:

sudo alien -r pytube_0.0.8.1-1_all.deb

pytube-0.0.8.1-2.noarch.rpm generated
