It's trivial though to write a makefile like:

install:
./utinstaller.bin

2006-07-02 Thread Alex Jones 
Ah, it appears I didn't fully understand CheckInstall.

However, the ultimate wish is to be able to set up (or use somebody
else's) repository for things such as ut2004, google-earth, etc., and
keep them up-to-date.

Packaging a 6GB .deb for ut2004 is obviously impractical, not to mention
probably illegal.

ebuilds are meant to build things locally, debian packages not. This is
a (if not the) fundamental difference between ebuids and debs and will
not change.
