   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."
