Chess,

Yes, I mean the source tarball.  However, I am suggesting a switch/option
that can be enabled (say from Utilities) so that any time you build a
package (whether queued or not) it is automatically deleted upon a
successful build (immediately).  This is useful, for instance, if you are
low on disk space and you want to queue up some large packages (qt4,
openoffice, etc) and let the machine crank for a while.  You won't have to
worry about disk space filling up as fast since the source tarballs get
deleted as you go.

It should be noted, however, that this would be most useful if the
package-$PRGNAM folder could also be auto-deleted after every successful
package build.  You could even have the package itself auto-deleted after it
is installed via sbopkg.  Perhaps an "auto-delete" dialog with three check
boxes for each of the options would work best.

Thanks for all your work on this program.  It certainly is maturing very
well.
