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

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. :-(
Then use 10% of the time you spend making insinuations like 'neglect', 'force', having these endless right/wrong debates to get your hands on OBS.
