Yes, that is the source code, not the built and installed version.

Ack, no, I meant something more like:

setup daf_persistence
cd $HOME/
mkdir LSST
cd LSST
git clone http://dev.lsstcorp.org/git/LSST/DMS/daf_persistence.git
cd daf_persistence
setup -j -r .
scons


The daf_persistence that you create doesn't need to live in the ~/eups/Linux64 tree.  That's one of the nice things about eups: you can tell it to "setup -j" (for "just" this package, i.e., no dependencies) using a particular root (via the "-r").
