This is a quote from my e-mail you responded to:
Thus it's only going to be available if there is someone who is willing to package it and maintain it. Or just the latter if the package already exists - which is most likely the case here, you can copy it from last openSUSE version where it was.
Does it really differ that much? I just suggested last known working version from the distribution rather than random home project.
Michal, I have to apologize. I did not read your mail carefully enough. What you said is quite reasonable. I just felt that Ludwig was kind of "more gentle" to the user habits. I have not used checkinstall for quite some time, but when I did (as Carlos also mentioned), there were many warnings that it is broken, even dangerous. Still it worked well for me and I was able to create RPMs from some stuff that was not provided by openSUSE (or openSUSE version did not work for me). (IIRC it was related to old PocketPC support packages, working through USB, there were some patches to kernel drivers to apply. It was related to specific chipsets). So my feeling then was like it is too early to discard this simple tool.
