    Just a quick word of advice. I'd shy away from redistributing the rpms
    produced by checkinstall. Checkinstall is a useful shortcut
    to fill a need when there is not a prebuilt quality rpm that you can
    grab from a repository. But I wouldn't encourage using checkinstall's
    level of automation for package building, when you plan to share the
    packages with other people. Its worth taking the time to learn how to
    package things correctly, if you plan to maintain a package for other
    people to use.
