[Ovirt-devel] [PATCH] "make clean" should not don't remove my backups!
It is not the job of "make clean" to remove a user's backup files. It should remove only those files that "make some-target" can create. FYI, these separately-created patches apply to docs and release subdirs. The docs patch has the "-f" option.>From 7e67831daada4213bd7ba9d1380f8ad9d2c17471 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001From: Jim Meyering <meyering at redhat.com> Date: Fri, 5 Sep 2008 09:09:59 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Makefile (clean): Do *not* remove user's backup files. --- Makefile | 1 - 1 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile index 6cd2074..2698147 100644 --- a/Makefile +++ b/Makefile @@ -8,7 +8,6 @@ distclean: clean rm -rf rpm-build clean: - rm -rf *~ tar: clean mkdir -p rpm-build -- 1.6.0.1.216.g1b23a>From 3cfa62cf661c35dac828ee1785df3828dce2a2aa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001From: Jim Meyering <meyering at redhat.com> Date: Fri, 5 Sep 2008 09:09:40 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Makefile (clean): Do *not* remove user's backup files. --- Makefile | 1 - 1 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile index 4555e4a..b458ed5 100644 --- a/Makefile +++ b/Makefile @@ -4,7 +4,6 @@ all: rpms include release.mk clean: - rm -f *~ distclean: clean rm -rf rpm-build -- 1.6.0.1.216.g1b23a
