Hi all,
this is a very good point. Actually, the situation is similar in my
workplace: we have servers (that unfortunately run CentOS) on which the
minimum is installed, and everybody compiles what he needs. A tremedous
improvement to this situation would be to improve apt so that it can
call dpkg with its --root option. Then users would be able to install
packaged software in their directory with correct handling of the
dependancies.
Have a nice day,
