Write a wrapper for emerge.

(example for updating a package):

First, get the output of emerge -fup PACKAGE. Use basename to get the filename. Save that in a variable.

Second, emerge -u PACKAGE && (for f in $FILES; do rm -f $f; done)

 Hi all,

 I am putting Gentoo on a fairly small hard drive.  I would like to clean
 out distfiles to save room.  I would like to tell it to download the
 source file then delete it when the compile is finished.  I looked in
 the make.conf.example but I didn't see anything that tells it to do that.

 Is there a way to do this?
 Thanks

As a horrible, horrible hack, you could just write a shell script to be run by crond. I'm sure there's something better, though.
