Good! :) >> Actually I suppose it would not be too hard to extend that "list of >> build only deps" idea to a general feature which deletes them when >> done.

You can get access to the svn version and more information about the sponsorship program at http://dougbarton.us/portmaster-proposal.html. I just committed the --delete-build-only feature so enjoy that. :) Actually at this point I encourage everyone who is interested in package support in portmaster to download the svn version and put it through its paces. I am very close to considering this round of features "finished" and committing them to the port so the more people that can help with the testing the better. > Thank you so much for the good work. You're welcome, and thank you for the kind words.
