[sclug] Keeping track of source installations

[erik.chakravarty at accenture.com]

For you DEBIAN_FANS out there... (I hope somebody gets that joke)

You know when you just can't find the right version of a deb package, so
you go to download and compile the source. It all compiles fine with no
dependency problems (for once!) BUT

"make install" throws binaries and libraries all over your filesystem
with no way of cleaning everything up again in 6 months time. Is there a
convenient way of keeping track of what non-debianized packages you have
installed?


Cheers

Erik
