==Features== |
|||
Alien supports conversion between [[Linux Standard Base]], [[RPM Package Manager|RPM]], [[deb (file format)|deb]], Stampede (.slp), [[Solaris (operating system)|Solaris]] (.pkg) and [[Slackware]] (.[[gzip|tgz]]) packages. It is also capable of automatically installing the generated packages, and can try to convert the installation scripts included in the archive as well. The latter feature should be used with caution since [[Linux distribution]]s may vary significantly from one another, and using install scripts automatically converted from an Alien format may break the system. |
