Hi,

I ask this question here because I know
a lot of you manage to install lots of
applications from a fresh cvs snaphot
without troubles (I think ;).

How do you manage these from-source installs ?
Are there people who use stow ? 
[cfr. http://www.gnu.org/software/stow/stow.html]

Or does make install / make uninstall usually
does a good task of (un)installing the software ?

I have installed software from sources this way
before, most notably alsa eg. I just wonder
if there are any "tricks of the trade" to be mastered.

thanks in advance
Vincent
