How about checkinstall for making a quick and dirty package? :P



I've had very bad experience with checkinstall.

The idea seems perfectly sound, but the implementation needs a lot of work. The UI needs to be better (e.g. saving your answers to the questions about title, author, etc.) And there are also some straight up bugs. It has crashed for me many times. And not even for a sketchy program- I'm talking like llvm.
