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.
Those who would like to use chekinstall only want to make rpms for themselves and do not want to distribute them. We let developers, package and repo maintaniers do that. We do not need those 'consistent results'. Furthermore I think buildservice is not for regular users, it is for developers. Chekinstall however is a simple program that can be used easily by normal users, not computer geeks.
Exactly. The point of using checkinstall is just an alternative to simply running "make install" so that: a) the rpm database knows about it b) the package can be deinstalled instantly. We do not need not care about a "chroot environment". What for, if we don't distribute the rpm? We make an rpm for our exact environment, not a lab environment. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
