Dear maintainer,
As out-of-source build tools (e.g. cmake, meson) grow in popularity,
it becomes more and more common for a build to be done in the "/build"
subdirectory of a source tree.
checkinstall's default of using the name of the current directory is not
super useful in this case, as all my packages end up named "build".
Please strip this "/build" before trying to guess the package name.
i.e. I would expect the following:
~$ git clone https://github.com/CBrunsch/BinViz binviz
~$ cd binviz/gr-binviz
binviz/gr-binviz$ mkdir build
binviz/gr-binviz$ cd build
binviz/gr-binviz/build$ cmake ..
binviz/gr-binviz/build$ make -j
binviz/gr-binviz/build$ sudo checkinstall
...
To not default to:
2 - Name: [ build ]
.. but instead:
2 - Name: [ gr-binviz ]
Cheers.
