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. -- Neil Bothwick Dolly Parton-- silicone based life
