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.
