I sometimes help out with arch testing. I don't like having all |
| 15 |
the deps and packages installed even if I don't use them. So I |
| 16 |
usually quickpkg the and unmerge them. Advantage is: if I have to |
| 17 |
archtest a package tomorrow that needs one of the deps I merged |
| 18 |
today I don't have to recompile it. On slower archs, this really |
| 19 |
helps. |
