The thought was that most autoconfiscated packages support ./configure make clean make make install since "make clean" does not remove the generated Makefile. But the patch was incomplete anyway, since it did not keep config.mak.append around. > I do understand why we keep "configure" around (it is common for everybody > once it is generated), though. Hmm, isn't the usual scheme something like - "make clean" undoes the effect of "make" - "make distclean" removes all generated files that are not common to everyone - "make maintainer-clean" removes all generated files ? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
