Checkinstall removing installed package's.

SpeedVin · 2010-08-06 22:47:05

Hey again!
I want to ask a little question about Checkinstall...
I need to build something from source (No way to build package) and if I build and install package using Checkinstall and when I want to remove the package it won't make a mess in my system?
I'm talking about for example RPM based distro's.

spec2arch converts an rpm .spec file into a PKGBUILD which in turn can be installed with pacman.

If you can compile from source why can't you make a package?

for arch it is not that big of a deal to make a pkgbuild
nor is it hard to build a rpm form the source
rhel and fedora have a nice set of tools to do just that "rpmbuild"

need to build something from source (No way to build package)

why is it imposable to make a rpm???
or is it just not very convenient
and what is it ?
if it is a CORE /Base program ( something like say glib or gtk or QT ) building form source is not recommended

Not Arch then. Newbie Corner is for issues encountered by new Arch users.

Moved to GNU/Linux.

I'm must build xfce and thunar from git repo and then it's hard to build package.
