Do you think we could adapt the checkinstall script, only for rpms, with installwatch library from the src2pkg people? Could you at least help us with advice?
I've looked t the current src2pkg sources and AFAICT it doesn't use installwatch anymore. When I have a bit of spare time I'll have a closer look at the sources. If I was wrong and it does indeed use a modified installwatch library I would be willing to see if we can't use checkinstall with another installwatch. I'll keep you informed.

Now, *that* was a positive response. While the OBS may be better at some things, simplicity is not one of its' virtues.. As Carlos stated, sometimes you just want to build a simple RPM so the RPM database can keep track of user installed programs, possibly only normally available as a tarball, not for redistribution necessarily. Both tools can be valuable but OBS is a 1000 pound sledge hammer when a small tack hammer is needed sometimes.
