Is it possible to enable repos from other .deb based distros?

I'm also wondering if on an rpm based distro, if one can add repos from
other distros. (ie, say you are using PCLOS, can you add fedora repos?)

These sound like recipes for an extended excursion through dependecy hell.

As it is, one has to be careful about mixing certain 3rd party Fedora
repos (ie, Livna, freshrpms, and atrpms), problems of the like of
which the ubuntu community may fortunately remain blissfully ignorant.

If a program isn't in your distro repo(s), you download and compile
the source, non è vero?



And you ask for it to be included. Even if you have to do the first
packaging yourself.
