When I update a package I expect it to clean up after itself. +1 Lets say I keep old libraries around outside packman(because pacman ignored them as per the proposal), who and when are they going to be cleaned up? My /usr/lib is 1.6G. If it is not cleaned up, it would baloon in less then 3 months enough to make LFS an attractive choice. Its simple. Update complete system once -or-twice a month. Its ok if you upgrade/install individual apps as needed. But a complete upgrade keeps the system clean and I love that about arch. -- Regards Shridhar
