Hello,
I'm using openSUSE 13.2. I installed checkinstall package from

Hello Masaru Nomiya,
No "official release" of checkinstall for openSUSE 13.2 exists.
1.6.2 packages appear to be available for Tumbleweed and openSUSE 13.1, but not for 13.2, the distribution that you're running.
I agree with David Rankin that checkinstall is very old and that this may be why it's not provided for 13.2.
Opensuse has a great toolchain for working with the package building process. I consider it one of the major gems of the entire opensuse distribution. First they have a cloud based build farm that can do 100,000 or more builds a day: https://build.opensuse.org/monitor It is available to all, but especially to opensuse users. If you have a bugzilla account you can use the same credentials at the build farm. The build farm allows almost everything to be done via a webui, but there is also the command tool 'osc'. osc has a million options, but the basics are easy. Most people use it in conjunction with the cloud server build.opensuse.org so I suggest you do that as well, at least to start. I'd guess interest in checkinstall has dropped because osc is such a core tool for openSUSE devs. Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
