60 Note that in recent versions of notmuch, "make debian-snapshot" is
\r
61 probably a better option than checkinstall, since it uses the "official"
\r
62 debian packaging that ships with notmuch.
\r
64 I don't know how practical/useful it is to support something similar for
\r
65 other distros / OSes, but we could certainly consider it.
