@swelljoe for the last decade or more, I’ve built the really important stuff from source — plus every Perl development release, plus modules, just to provide additional testing cycles. Currently I build Emacs from source every month or two, from master or the current RC, just cuz.

@genehack I'm pretty averse to using from-source builds of stuff. I mean, I build a lot of software all the time, as it's my job to package a shitload of software...a bunch of Python, Nodejs, C and C++ code. But, I like the deployment (even on my own machines) to be a package, so I can keep up with it. So, if I'm building third-party stuff from source it means I'm pretty pissed off about the package situation. I ended up finding an RPM in the RPMFusion nonfree repo while building, though.
