Well it's getting re-created here, but other packages I use don't, so I'd say it is controllable somehow. If I delete the .package & restart it immediately says

Code:

Here is, for example, one which includes binaries for three platforms and does not create a sublime-package zip:

(which is all the are, so it's perhaps just a path issue??)

I ran the portable version for ages simply because at the time it made syncing installations much easier. It'd be a pain to change now given I use it on >5 machines this way...but not impossible I guess. Still, I have no other issues with packages and portable, including at least a few that provide binaries.
