I made a customized checkinstall-rpm for SailfishOS which should work out of the box. Checkinstall is actually a little deprecated and needed some love to build. However, I got it working now and never run into problems with my recent builds.
Here you go: https://openrepos.net/content/inte/checkinstall
Feedback welcome.

Thanks,

Chris

I move my message from openrepos to here that I guess its easier that it is read by someone:

Very interesting tool!! Have you checked it inside SailfishOS or inside merSDK?

I am getting all the time this error (it does not find the new files, and thus, the rpm is empty):

Code:
[...]
======================== Installation successful ==========================
cp: cannot stat `/var/tmp/tmp.qdPVQ10699/newfiles.tmp': No such file or directory

Copying files to the temporary directory...OK

Stripping ELF binaries and libraries...OK

Compressing man pages...OK

Building file list... FAILED!
cat: /var/tmp/tmp.qdPVQ10699/newfiles: No such file or directory
I have been checking different things and two different apps without succes. Make install (without using checkinstall) is working fine.

I am using it inside of the SB2 of MerSDK as root. If I use it without root user it complains about permissions, because it is installing the program at the same time than trying to build the rpm (not the usual behaviour --despite the install option-- in my previous experience with checkinstall in debian)

"CheckInstall is a computer program for Unix-like operating systems which eases the installation and uninstallation of software compiled from source by making use of package management systems. After software compilation it can automatically generate a Slackware-, RPM-, or Debian-compatible package that can later be cleanly uninstalled through the appropriate package manager."

When I install something from openrepos I am often wondering how to uninstall it.

Am I reading correctly that checkinstall might show me the packages that are installed with a certain program on openrepos and weither those packages are used only by this program and that in that case they can be removed?

Because that is something I think I would need.

No, this tool is for developers
You need this command:
Code:
for i in $(ssu lr 2>&1 | grep openrepos- | cut -d" "  -f3); do zypper search -i -r $i ; done

and for removing a particular package i guess you can use zypper remove package and itd remove the package installed files.

checkinstall is supposed to be used instead of make install so that a deb or rpm package is produced instead of installing the app after compiling it (that's a typical use not the only one )

In most cases, you can remove the package by simply going back to the Warehouse app, finding and uninstalling the app.

`pkcon remove 'package'` works just as well. I prefer to remove via Warehouse, where I originally installed it from.
