I sometimes have to use remote systems that I don't have root access to. I often find that I need to install packages in my home directory, so either I build from source or copy over my own pre-compiled versions.

Recently I've found out about pkgsrc. I'm looking for opinions from anyone who has used it to install packages without root access. Any feedback is useful!
