That would again mean that the sw had to be installed over and over again, on every single machine. That may be OK for 2 or 5 machines, but for a larger number this becomes a tedious task.

If there was an AFS aware package manager out there (which was my question), then that overhead would drop to (nearly) zero. Bye...
