Is there a recommended general procedure so that users could update
orphaned packages with a reasonable chance of success?
E.g., for packages that need compiling, it's download the source,
extract it, then make and make install.
Not sure about other packages like Ansible which are written in
Python, whether there is another method.

Advice appreciated.
