hand-roll

v. [from obs. mainstream slang hand-rolled in opposition to ready-made ,
referring to cigarettes] To perform a normally automated software
installation or configuration process by hand ; implies that the normal
process failed due to bugs in the configurator or was defeated by something
exceptional in the local environment. The worst thing about being a gateway
between four different nets is having to hand-roll a new sendmail
configuration every time any of them upgrades.
