More Control and Package Management using Package Users
(via)The general idea is to create package users, i.e. user accounts with restricted
rights, to build and install software packages, rather than doing these tasks
as root. Not only does this give you more control over what build and install
scripts may or may not do, it can also serve as a quite useful package
management system.
