As an alternative, you could clone the system into a virtual machine,
and then make any of these "one user" modifications there. I have been
doing this from time to time as a way to manage the risks around
experimental system changes - if you mess it up or don't like the
configuration, simply throw away the VM; no need to roll back by
explicitly reverting changes. And I do acknowledge that this is not
exactly what you were asking for...
Kind regards,
Helmut.

It occurred to me a while ago that I want a package manager that will allow me
to install software and data packages to my home directory as well as the

My main reasons are that:

0 This could be useful to web store type services.
0 It seems over kill to give someone temporary root access to install a
package that only one user will use.
Are there any managers support this? If not does anyone think
that there could be enough demand to justify writing such a manager?
