Checkinstall

From LinuxNewbie

<Revantine> cyzie, What distro do you use?
<cyzie> fc3
<Revantine> when you got the source via cvs you probably did
./configure;make;make install, yes?
<cyzie> Revantine, yes
<Revantine> with checkinstall you get it via cvs, then ./configure;make
<Revantine> instead of make install, you run checkinstall
<cyzie> :O
<Revantine> It makes an rpm file for you. Then you rpm -i package.rpm
<Revantine> that way when you want to remove it, you rpm -e package
