Occasionally, I still run into a piece of software which makes me yearn for the days when I built my own /usr/local from source. But as the repos have got better, this is getting to be a rare event. I still don't like the feeling of being boxed into the package management system. And the extra level of complication trying to manage issues from building software from source which reference package managed libraries and other dependencies.
