Has anyone thought of changing the way make update works, and moving
the pkg_delete part until after the compile is finished? I do this by
hand (been caught out by this too many times with no daemon to server
users)
so instead of:
pkg_delete -> make install
you get:
make -> pkg_delete -> make install
At the moment I just `make && make update` to be safe.
