I was trying to install checkinstall but the installation kept failing. It appears the official rpms have been removed.

Is there any reason why checkinstall is no longer available? I figured now would be a good time to put in place better software building and installing practices, and this would be a good place to start.
Well, apparently the maintainers use OBS and tell everybody to use OBS, and thus neglect checkinstall to force others to also use OBS. So now I have to use "make install" directly on my systems without creating the rpm. :-( -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" (Minas Tirith))
