I use to use --oneshot for testing packages, so they didn't end up in world with me forgetting they were there. Now I use a set (@temp) and add any packages I want to try out in there. It stops stuff getting depcleaned before I've tried it and keeps the package and itsa deps up to date. Every so often I go through the temp set and remove packages, either adding them to @world or leaving them to the tender mercies of depclean. --=20 Neil Bothwick Dolly Parton-- silicone based life --Sig_/0zI8fb4DrFWD/DKmZGrgtab Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAk3RgEsACgkQum4al0N1GQNtnQCghgO8hgmMiGrDuGuGRt+ewlpT L8YAoIIFfZEUKIyVHn14ZAHtnL93sNo4 =5O6n -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/0zI8fb4DrFWD/DKmZGrgtab--
