Subject: [gentoo-dev] Portage idea: use checkinstall?
Date: Fri, 03 Jan 2003 22:55:31 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <84adihkiek.fsf@lucy.cs.uni-dortmund.de> (raw)
I notice that people have to specify a target directory for
installation and to make sure that files are installed in the correct
location.
I wonder if it might be useful to allow using checkinstall or
installwatch or something like this to remove this need?
It might not always be easy to specify a target directory for
installation.
(I'm currently using checkinstall to build a Debian package for the
VMware kernel modules so that colleagues don't have to run
vmware-config.pl. I'm looking for a replacement for that happy day
when our working group switches to Gentoo.)
