Holy crap! I have found what has to be just dang near one of the most useful websites in history. rpmpan combines two of the most used aspects of my development world. RPM and Perl CPAN. The dang thing is even apt aware! God must freggin love me.
In additional news another great apt source that I found is jpackage. Jpackage is an apt repository for rpm based distro’s that works to keep copies of the mostly commonly sought after Java apts in one location. Very very nice. When they are up.
