Looks interesting.
I think the way that might prove best for the Xconq project to use it
would be:
checkinstall rpm -i xconq-common-7.5.0-0pre.0.somedate
etc..., to track the installation of RPM packages and generate Slackware
and Debian packages from that. Of course, 'alien' can do this in a more
direct manner, but I think it requires certain tools, such as 'dpkg' to
already be installed.
One must be careful to get the right directory structure for each
distribution though, and I don't think CheckInstall solves that problem.
And it always better to be able to actually test the packages on a
native system.
Eric
