I am working through my 7th recompile of the same software. There are no pre-built packages available, and it’s a long compile time. Is there a way to take what I compile and package it up so that I don’t have to continually build it right from source?
EDIT: CentOS 6 for the OS if that matters.
checkinstall, which is based on installwatch, is able to create various packages including
.deb(Debian, Ubuntu, …),.rpm(Red Hat, Fedora, SuSE, …) and.tgz(Slackware) suitable for your distribution’s package manager.
