Yes, checkinstall is really cool. However, I tend to prefer things with no magic that I don't have to sandbox to know what they are doing. This is why I am also happy to hear about toydist. Gaël

I am still not sure the design is entirely right, but the install command in toymaker just reads a build manifest, which is a file containing all the files necessary for install. It is explicit, and list every file to be installed. By design, it cannot install anything outside this manifest. That's also how eggs are built (and soon win installers and mac os x pkg). cheers, David
