--- Begin Message ---Package: aptitude Version: 0.4.11-2 Severity: wishlist Hi, Recently aptitude gained the ability to automaticall install the dependencies need to build a package from source. "aptitude build-deps <package>" Thank you very much! Next it would be nice to easily uninstall the build-deps. This could be done by having a dummy package created upon running "aptitude build-deps <package>" which depended on all of these build-deps, then install this dummy package. All the build-deps would marked as automatically installed and uninstalling the dummy package would uninstall the build-deps other packages do not depend on. Thanks again, C. --- System information. --- Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux 2.6.24.3 Debian Release: lenny/sid 990 testing security.debian.org 990 testing ftp.egr.msu.edu 980 testing ftp.sunet.se 50 unstable ftp.uwsg.indiana.edu 40 experimental ftp.egr.msu.edu 25 unstable ftp.sunet.se 25 hardy us.archive.ubuntu.com --- Package information. --- Depends (Version) | Installed ================================================-+-==================== diff | 2.8.1-12 libapt-pkg-libc6.7-6-4.6 | libc6 (>= 2.7-1) | 2.7-6 libcwidget1 | 0.5.6.1-3 libept0 | 0.5.14 libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1-21) | 1:4.3.0-1 libncursesw5 (>= 5.6+20071006-3) | 5.6+20080203-1 libsigc++-2.0-0c2a (>= 2.0.2) | 2.0.18-2 libstdc++6 (>= 4.2.1-4) | 4.3.0-1 libxapian15 | 1.0.5-1 zlib1g | 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-11

That is nice! It is certainly more general purpose than creating dummy packages. One might want to "markauto" instead of "purge" when one is done compiling the package from source. That way if other packages have also depended on those packages, they won't be forcefully removed. I haven't tried this yet, but it seems to make sense. aptitude markauto ?user-tag(installed-for-foo-build-dep) Thanks!
