I think those two patches are wrong. From the GNU Standards, on maintainer-clean: ... The reason we say "almost everything" is that running the command `make maintainer-clean' should not delete `configure' even if `configure' can be remade using a rule in the Makefile. More generally, `make maintainer-clean' should not delete anything that needs to exist in order to run `configure' and then begin to build the program. Also, there is no need to delete parent directories that were created with `mkdir -p', since they could have existed anyway. These are the only exceptions; `maintainer-clean' should delete everything else that can be rebuilt. ... regards, guillem _______________________________________________ bug-inetutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-inetutils
