Sencap - Encapping software
Sencap is a simple ENCAP software
manager. Encapping is a method of installing software from source
tarballs into private trees (bin, lib, man, share) and symlinking them
to the system tree (e.g. /usr/local). Uninstallation of encapped
software is quick, reliable and easy. Encapping is best used to
augment the default package manager, not to replace it.
