[Dune] state of Debian packages for dune

[Bernd Flemisch]

Dear Dune,

I agree, this is really great, thank you all for the 
effort!

I would like to convert these to red hat packages. I am 
not experienced in this and the first possibility I am 
pointed to by Google is the "alien" command. Is this a 
good way to do and can you maybe tell me how I can only 
download, not install, the debian packages?

Thank you. Kind regards
Bernd
