[Q] source package building

[Aaron Denney <wnoise@dice.ugcs.caltech.edu>]

Looking through the available documentation, it seems that the only way
to install source package is to use it to create a binary package, and
then install the newly created binary package.  Am I missing something or
is this the only way?  If this is the only way, why is this necessary?
I would think doing an installation after the build would be possible
without having to take the extra step of creating a binary package.
If this isn't the only way, could someone please explain how to go about
installing a binary package?
