Universal Repositories for All Linux Distros
Is it possible to use Other Distro's ( i.e Debian's or Ubuntu's ) repositories in Fedora?
If not then what should be done to make common repositories for all linux distros.

List only those packages that have exactly pkgname as their name.

Queries only for packages for the listed distributions. Recognised values for Dist1, Dist2, etc. are "archlinux", "cygwin",
