Hello,

I've always used this small script I made for creating pkgs, maybe it can be useful to someone :D

checkinstall already do the same.
But be carefull, it not always works and will not install the files in the right place most of the time.

I wrote it exactly for being "safe" (no root rights needed) :)
it's far from being perfect, of course. To be honest, it's quite raw :D

the SLACKBUILD method is more "formal" and it's very good for making packages to be shared.

Mine is more oriented to a "personal use", so you can quickly make a package without having to prepare a slackbuild.
