I'm sure the exact procedure varies from place to place, but let's say for example that the work computer is Linux and I want to build & run the latest emacs on it. But to do that I first need to install libsXYZ.deb/rpm. Do I need approval first to install emacs, as well as for each lib that is installed (even if I can install them without using sudo)?
Do I need approval for every proceeding emacs minor mode, Linux lib, Python package, etc. that are installed? I currently tend to install many open source tools and libs to aid me and that would seem like a hassle getting approval for each one. That also seems like it would slow down debugging what packages are missing when resolving Linux dependency issues etc.
