Others have already presented their opinions and preferences on this
case. Personally, I use 'stow' to keep track of "manually" installed
software. IMHO, stow is pretty nice tool in this purpose. When I compile
stuff, I always use '--prefix=/usr/local' with configure and
'prefix=/usr/local/stow/<software> with 'make install'. Then I get
myself to /usr/local/stow and say:
stow <directory>
And it creates the appropriate symlinks. If I want to uninstall it, I
simply say:
stow -D <directory>
And the symlinks are gone. This serves the purpose for me, at least.
