I use to use --oneshot for testing packages, so they didn't end up in |
| 10 |
world with me forgetting they were there. Now I use a set (@temp) and add |
| 11 |
any packages I want to try out in there. It stops stuff getting |
| 12 |
depcleaned before I've tried it and keeps the package and itsa deps up to |
| 13 |
date. Every so often I go through the temp set and remove packages, |
| 14 |
either adding them to @world or leaving them to the tender mercies of |
| 15 |
depclean. |
