Good!  :)

That's what I was getting at, sorry if I wasn't clear.

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.

You're welcome, and thank you for the kind words.
