I left them there the last couple of pushes because I wanted people to get a look at the documentation updates I made. It was easier for me than splitting the files between the bash and readline devel branches.Ok, i see. Sort of a problem is, that these files aren't explicitly made by make.
They are. Unless you mean the intermediate files created by running tex to make the dvi files.
According to info (make)Standard Targets, we should have:
mostlyclean < clean < distclean < maintainer-clean
That hierarchy isn't gospel. The current Makefile rules are fine.
(One could argue, whether the devel branch is a distribution.)
It's not. It's a snapshot of ongoing work.
Would you accept patches for:
a) reversing mostlyclean/clean;
b) rewrite mostlyclean/clean/distclean as described;
c) rewrite maintainer-clean so that it reuses the other clean-targets.
I can make the appropriate changes, you don't need to send patches.
I guess that config.h, buildconf.h etc. - products of running configure or config.status - are 'files recording the configuration'. Thus should be exempt from 'make clean mostlyclean'.
They already are.
