+Here are some things that I do often enough that I want to remember
+how to do them properly, yet rarely enough that I will probably forget
+this stuff if I do not write it down.
+
+# Package managers
+
+## APT
+
+Add deb-src repositories to get:
+
+- `changelog`
+- `build-dep`
+- `source`
+
+# Installing stuff under `$HOME`
+
+E.g. pandoc (compiled from source tarball with stack because there is
+no 32-bit release) and ripgrep:
+
+- programs:
+    - install in `~/.local/bin`
+    - add this folder to `$PATH` (in `.profile` and `.xsessionrc`)
+
+- manpages:
+    - install in `~/.local/share/man/man1`
+    - in `~/.manpath`:
+
+            MANPATH_MAP	~/.local/bin	~/.local/share/man
+
+    - run `mandb --user-db`
+
+- bash completion scripts:
+    - install in `~/.local/share/bash-completion`
+    - in `~/.bash_completion` (sourced by
+      `/usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion`):
+
+        ``` bash
+        for f in ~/.local/share/bash-completion/*
+        do
+            [ -f "$f" ] && . "$f"
+        done
+        ```
