How to install a YAST metapackage (.ymp) package under Ubuntu? Are there any tools for converting a .ymp to a .deb or to an installation script?

Rahim over 14 yearsAs a long time SUSE user, this is the first time I've heard of .ypm files. Do you have an example of one somewhere?

user20272 over 14 yearsYour truth - not "ypm", but "ymp"

OliverS over 14 yearsWhat do you want to install, there is a 99% chance of Ubuntu already having it as .deb. If not, there is another 99% chance that this package is so system specific that you don't want to install the ymp as it wouldn't work anyway.
