Hi John,
Here's the scenario:
I unpack devboard-R2_10 and distfiles in a directory, link to
distfiles from devboard-R2_10, configure, make menuconfig, configure
again and then I start tweaking stuff myself, making fimages etc.
The problem is that by now the path to my directory, lets say
/home/mark/XYZbla/devboard-R2_10 is now hardcoded into a variety of
files in the tree, as I can see if I do << find . -exec grep "XYZbla"
{} \; >>
Examples are
devboard-R2_10/tools/build-R2_19_3/fakeroot/build/host/Makefile
or devboard-R2_10/tools/build-R2_19_3/filepp/Makefile as well of
course as a bunch of object files but I wouldn't normally check those
in anyway so they are not the problem.
Now if I could clean all those other files out and recreate them with
a single command I would be happy, and could check the rest of the
tree into svn and then pass it back and forth amongst the other guys.
Hope that makes it clearer. I'm looking forward to your ideas.
Cheers
Mark
