About:
Voodoo Package Manager is a package manager that is similar in usage to RPM, but instead of using RPM files, it tracks packages straight out of CVS or downloaded as a source tarball. It does this by reading variables out of the Makefile to find out the name of the package, version, etc., and then tracing the install script for any modification to the filesystem, and storing these changes into an XML file, which then it stores in a central database which can be queried later.

[»] checkinstall?

Maybe I am missing something... But AFAICS CheckInstall is a considerably cleaner, more robust, and more useful approach to the same issue.
