Ffmpeg debs

[jpenguin]

I compiled my own ffmpeg with nvenc support, following these instructions https://medium.com/@rustamgaifullin/...5d4#.r5222njrt, I would like to create Debs so the package manager can deal with it, but if I use checkinstall to create ffmpeg.deb- it interferes with existing packages

By default, checkinstall, without options, builds and installs a .deb package. Existing installed package removal would only be indicated IF the package you built needed dependencies that required the removal of others to satisfy those dependencies. Are you sure that what you built is fully compatible with the version of Kubuntu you are installing it in?

I've streamed a couple thing using the new nvenc encoder; the probem is that since Ubuntu uses libav and I built the original ffmpeg; the deb I built conflicts- I am currently using 'sudo make install'

sudo checkinstall --pkgname=FFmpeg --fstrans=no --backup=no \
       --pkgversion="$(date +%Y%m%d)-git" --deldoc=yes

Without the --install=no option, checkinstall (run as root) 'will build a .deb package and install it.'
