Building RPMS doesn't require any of that.  CheckInstall takes care of
the whole thing, but when you're done you've got something portable that
doesn't need to be compiled on all your other boxes.  It's as tailored
as source, and as easily deployed as RPM.  It's the thing that keeps me
sane when I have to deviate from some package the RH guys have borked.
It's not perfect, but it's a lot less time-consuming than Gentoo was for
me.
