Thanks a lot for the code snip, NN_il_Confusionario. It explains well why there isn't such a tool to create .deb from a directory. I have a second thought, since checkinstall accept any install command, can I do checkinstall rsync -vua . / from the directory that I prepared to create a .deb file? thanks -- Tong (remove underscore(s) to reply) http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/ http://xpt.sourceforge.net/tools/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
