# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line # up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' # on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must # make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':'. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| checkinstall: checkinstall (create a package from "make install") checkinstall: checkinstall: Installs a compiled program from the program's source directory using checkinstall: "make install" or any other command supplied on checkinstall's command checkinstall: line (such as a Slackware .build script), and create a binary package checkinstall: at the same time so that you can install and remove the package using checkinstall: Slackware's package management tools. checkinstall: checkinstall: checkinstall was written by Felipe Eduardo Sanchez Diaz Duran, and checkinstall: uses the installwatch tool by Pancrazio `Ezio' de Mauro to monitor the checkinstall: installation process.
