The idea would be that for a few major distributions at least, you

(like maybe defaulting to --user kind of installs). Of course, it can
only be dealt up to a point.David

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.

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
