Lazarus installation by extracting rpm or deb files to desired home directories?

[vfclists]

How easy is it to install Lazarus by extracting the files from the packages, copying them into preferred directories, do some search and replace in configuration files, and setting up some start up scripts with the right path?

I want to have the exact builds in the packages in my home directories and this seems the logical way to do it.

As I am able to copy self compiled builds from computer to computer in different directories I wonder how difficult it can be if the same method is applied to the package files.

It is something like virtualenv for Lazarus.

In Windows on one machine I use FPCUP with my script for installation/update process, then I just copy that single directory to all other machines. Everything simply works...

I should have emphasized that it is Linux I am interested in, ie from deb and rpm files.
