Subject: 'make distclean' silently removes empty files
Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2011 13:54:23 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <25697.1311857663@redhat.com> (raw)
Hi,
Can 'make distclean' please be altered to _not_ silently remove empty files,
especially ones that are checked into GIT and/or are mentioned in Makefiles as
being compilable. By all means flag them as requiring removal, remove them
noisily or give an error.
A case in point is:
arch/arm/mach-zynq/board_dt.c
which is an empty file checked into GIT.
Thanks,
David
