Checkinstall is a gross hack and does not really fit into openSUSE as it will happily create packages that defy all rules for this distribution.
I don't care. It fits our uses. Not yours, because you are a dev. Ours.
Carlos, if you don't care, why not just compile into a home directory and put that directory into your path? That way you don't risk corrupting the rest of the system, and you don't need checkinstall.
You can do that only if it is a package not already available to Yast. For example, if you want to use your own compilation of "xinelib", you want yours to replace the system one, so you remove the existing xinelib: and then a bunch of apps complain there is no xinelib, even if you put your compiled version, because the rpm database is not happy, and Yast will want to remove those apps, too. So you need to create an rpm of your local xinelib so that rpm knows there is something named xinelib in the system. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
