"make PKG-clean" should just look at the appropriate package manifest in local/var/lib/sage/installed, for instance the file "p_group_cohomology-3.1". That file contains a list of installed files, and "make PKG-clean" removes those files. It's not doing anything clever with autotools. (It also doesn't work if the manifest is malformed, which until recently was the case on OS X.) -- John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-release" group.
