DaveQB Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 How valid are RPM's made with checkinstall ?? I mean can they be used with others in the community ?? Uploaded to a repository for urpmi use by all Mandrake users (with same version) ??? I too am looking to RPM building.... but have hardly started on all the reading.

Crashdamage Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 Checkinstall is a great tool, but not intended for building rpms for distribution. It will yield rpms that you can fully uninstall or reinstall on **your system**. If you really want to get into making rpms for others more work is necessary. Check out the link Tymark gave or do some Googling - you'll find plenty of info is available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
