GNU Source Release Collection
GSRC (GNU Source Release Collection) is a BSD Ports-like system for easily fetching, building and installing the latest GNU packages from source. Installing a package is as easy as "make -C gnu/<packagename> install" and it can be configured to install to your home directory, bypassing the need for administrator privileges. The quarterly releases of GSRC represent a periodic resease of all GNU packages together. It is also possible to stay up-to-date by checking out its Bazaar repository.
