Fedora is a community-driven project; things get into the distribution because someone does the work. And from a quick search, checkinstall has been tough to get working with various different Fedora releases over time, so it does appear that a good bit of work is involved. Of course, checkinstall itself doesn't make packages which are acceptable for Fedora, but don't let that stop you from packaging it. Do, however, be careful when packaging random github forks. It is generally better to start from the pristine upstream sources and patch them as necessary. - J< -- packaging mailing list packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/packaging
