Any progress to make checkinstall work under opensuse 11.2?. I miss it.
No, it is broken by design.

Mmm... he has been saying that for ages, he want us all to use the buildservice for our private builds.
And Cristian is doing this by good reasons. Cause the checkinstall approach does not lead to an as consistent results as a freshly set up chroot environment does.
The openSUSE Build Service and the used tool chain ensure such a clean environment.
Absolutely false.
Have you ever tried it?
I, we, don't intend to make rpms to be used by others, they are private. We can not use a public buildservice, even if we knew how to use it.
Please read my last mail again. In particular the end. The openSUSE Build Service (OBS) and in particular the osc build feature doesn't force anyone to pusblish anything. There isn't anything which forces you to publish the build results to the public. You build on your local system inside a clean chroot setup. But the OBS and the osc command in particular enabled you to build software in an easy and secure way. Please give it a try! And if you like you're even able to share software packages you created by this means and to contribute to any of the projects using the OBS infrastructure.
If checkinstall is broken, just repair it!
I expect those needing and using it will even repair it. If not we're here at the very same point as with the sax2 discussion. I'm a very happy user of the OBS and therefore don't see a need to spend time on an approach which is known to cause more issues.
Or create an alternate script that just works, for people like us with no idea of how to build an rpm from scratch.
Have you tried to use the OBS? Have you installed the osc package? Have you read any of the available documentation? http://lizards.opensuse.org/2009/09/13/build-service-intro/ might be a good starting point. Before any further replies please read the available articles. ### OBS intro quote start Build Service Intro Sunday, September 13th, 2009 by Andreas Jaeger I stumbled upon a little series of articles at the LinuxFoundation Developer Network explaining the openSUSE Build Service. The articles are: * openSUSE Build System: Building Binary Packages for Many Linux Distributions at Once http://ldn.linuxfoundation.org/article/opensuse-build-system-building-binary... * openSUSE Build System: Building RPM Packages http://ldn.linuxfoundation.org/article/opensuse-build-system-building-rpm-pa... * openSUSE Build System: Building DEB Packages http://ldn.linuxfoundation.org/article/opensuse-build-system-building-deb-pa... Ben Martin gives a short overview of the Build Service and then explains step by step how to build a binary package. If you’re interested in building binary packages, I advise to read his articles. ### OBS intro quote end Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany
