http://sourceforge.net/projects/addpackageforma/files/ says that the project has no files.

Maybe try to make it a bit easiert to understand what you did, and how.
I suggest you post a status report of what the goal is, what works, and what is still to do. Examples always help, too.

Sure,

Added support for RPM packages.

Added support for Debian packages.

I checkout and bootstraped "pkgsrc" (Ubuntu). The name "flavor" is replaced with "pkgformat".

I've installed the misc/rpm package from pkgsrc native format. I'm using default configuration.

rpm directory added in pkgformats(former flavors). *.mk for required private targets.

I plan to change it the same way as dpkg (see bellow). builddir paths need to be changed for

rpmbuild to work.

At bootstrap there is a check for native dpkg tools. If it is installed, the debian

pkgformat option can be used. I did not include option to use dpkg from pkgsrc.

= Interface =

Packages are first created, then installed

to build package:

(b)make PKG_FORMAT=rpm package

To install package:

(b)make PKG_FORMAT=rpm install

to deinstall package:

(b)make PKG_FORMAT=rpm deinstall

This is not working for unprivileged user (su is called but _pkgformat-deinstall is not executed)

It is working for "root" user. I don't know why yet.

== Variables usable at load-time ==

A package system flavor must define the following variables so that they

can be used when loading Makefiles. (That is, no references to undefined

variables.)

RPMBASE?= /usr/rpm

RPM_DBDIR?= /var/db/rpm

=== Packaging commands ===

pkg_* tools are not changed

== Make targets ==

The same applies to Debian packages.
