Installwatch is a program designed to make it easier to catalog and maintain software installed from source code. Originally developed as a stand-alone project, Installwatch now exists primarily as a component of CheckInstall. Installwatch was originally written by Pancrazio `Ezio' de Mauro in 1998, but development was later taken over by Felipe Sánchez. ==Functionality== Installwatch allows the user to monitor what files and directories are created during the installation of a software package in real-time. This allows the user to know exactly what has been installed on their system for the purposes of documentation and later removal of the software.〔 When used on its own Installwatch is of limited usefulness, as it can only create a log of the installation process. Because of this, Felipe Sánchez created CheckInstall; which takes the information generated by Installwatch and uses it to create an installable package which can be used on any Linux distribution that makes use of Debian, Slackware, or Red Hat package management systems. The use of CheckInstall has largely superseded that of Installwatch alone, and as such Installwatch has now been merged with the CheckInstall distribution. Older stand-alone versions of Installwatch still remain primarily for historical and educational purposes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Installwatch」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
