Title: checkinstall.dsl Description: Package builder Version: 1.6.0 Author: Felipe Eduardo Sánchez Díaz Durán et al Original-site: http://asic-linux.com.mx/~izto/checkinstall/ Copying-policy: GNU GPL -----==[ Color = red Filesize: 50K ]==----- Extension-by: WDef Comments: Checkinstall will build a .deb, .rpm or slackware package from most install processes (eg do 'checkinstall -D' instead of 'make install'). The resulting package can then be installed or cleanly uninstalled using eg dpkg. This might be of extra interest to those with DSL hd installs, since a .dsl extension can be converted to a 'deb' package by doing: # checkinstall -D tar -C / -zxvf anyextension.dsl This can then be installed and uninstalled like any deb package, leaving you with a clean system. For livecd users, checkinstall comes in handy when compiling large progs - instead of scattering files all over the system these get neatly packaged into a .deb, ready for deb2dsl. One of my favorite progs, a real gem :-) Doesn't work on everything - see online docs. Change-log: Current: 2006/03/21 - First Version
