toast
toast is a simple, self-contained tool for downloading, building, installing, cleanly uninstalling, and managing software packages. Unprivileged users can use it to install software in their home directories. System administrators can use it to temporarily or permanently install software system-wide in a customizable location. Unlike traditional package-management systems, toast works directly with software distributed as source code rather than requiring precompiled binary packages from a central authority (though it can use those too).
