Again with the buildservice! Can you tell me what good is the buildservice for a single build that is going to be used for a single computer?
You misunderstood me. I meant someone from the community should step up to maintain checkinstall as with the existance of the BS it's not necessary to maintain checkinstall inside Novell.
I don't care.
If you don't care, why do you use openSUSE? Part of the work we did in the past was ensuring that packages in the distribution stick to the rules defined for the distribution, including the rules which compiler warnings are unacceptable and which paths have to be used. I really think I'll make checkinstall obey those rules as much as I can. This would reject an rpm package based on the same rules every package in openSUSE has to obey (including packages in the BS).
It fits our uses. Not yours, because you are a dev. Ours.
I really don't think that a package that ignores all the rules really fits your uses. What about compiler warnings that we treat like errors because most often it's a sign of broken coding that can lead to all kinds of problems including silent data corruption? Building such packages in our internal build system or in the OBS will fail because of such errors. Building with checkinstall will succeed and you will have code that may silently and unnoticed corrupts your system. Do you really want that?
