hand-roll
(From mainstream slang "hand-rolled cigarette" in
opposition to "ready-made") To perform a normally automated
software installation or configuration process {by hand};
implies that the normal process failed due to bugs 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."
