r1w1s1I’ve been using Slackware for almost 20 years, but to be honest, I haven’t used rpm2tgz much.<br>I usually stick with native Slackware packages or build from source when needed.<br>That said, there are cases like Google Chrome where a .deb package is converted into a .tgz.<br>Slackware even provides an example of this in the extra directory:<br><br><a href="https://mirrors.kernel.org/slackware/slackware64-current/extra/google-chrome/README" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://mirrors.kernel.org/slackware/slackware64-current/extra/google-chrome/README</a><br><br><a href="https://snac.bsd.cafe?t=slackware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#slackware</a><br><br><br>

r1w1s1Great idea!
