One apt to rule them all, One apt to bind them...
Ars Technica is reporting that Ian (the ian in Debian) Murdock's, Progeny has ported Red Hat's Anaconda installer to Debian. I was more interested in the news that Progeny is modifying apt to work with RPM packages.

If that weren't enough, the DebToo project is working to create tools to build Debian source packages using custom compile flags, just like Gentoo. In addition, Eric Wong has written APT-Fu, which can build packages using custom gcc flags.

Convergence is good.
