How do you guys get software that is not in your distribution's repositories?

If I could, I'd compile all my software from source. Unfortunately, it seems a lot of open source developers don't like writing software in C, which means the burden of sorting through dependancy-hell has been deferred to my shoulders instead.

In that case install Gentoo. Compiling everything from source is its thing. And on the way it will resolve all the dependencies for you. The dependencies you want.
