They are two different systems/approaches to the question. Checkinstall creates a .deb, that you can manage with dpkg*. Paco, instead, logs the "make install" activity, so you can see which files were stored where, and you could always add files to the log, even after the completion of the install (that's a feature checkinstall doesn't have, if I don't go wrong) [1]. And, moreover, it's used in LFS (again, if I don't go wrong) as package manager. So, if one wants to build an LFS bootstrapping from Debian, should he install all the dpkg* stuff? I hope not (actually, I don't remember if dpkg*-apt are _required_ packages, so when you bootstrap they are automatically installed). > Kind regards > Nico Cheers, David [1] I don't have any real-world-use example of this, though. But that's a feature. - -- . ''`.
