As I wrote in Mooltipass on fedora I acquire recently a Mooltipass.

But I’m in love with Fedora and rpm instead of Debian with apt. Sadly the official repo doesn’t provide standalone app for Fedora.

Thanks to scips I discover alien soft to fix that: it’s job is to create a rpm from a deb for instance.

In our case that doesn’t work due to the fact that we don’t have rpm spec file at debian debootstrapping step.

I don’t have enough experience to build a rpm spec file, but we’re not blocked.

–generate

With this switch you can ask to get all files “as it” and this creates a tree that you could copy to your system.

The package contains also 2 little scripts to create and remove link to /usr/local/bin/mooltiapp. So a full installation can be done using all these info

I’m not really fan of this solution, I won’t use it but can help if you need it

Another solution is to rebuild it from source. It’s for a next post ;-)
