Noah Slater closed COUCHDB-854.
-------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
The installation process is a write-only operation. I will veto any patch which
removes things from the DEST_DIR. I would suggest that some form of versioning
be used in the directories, so that multiple installs can co-exist next to each
other. If someone thinks that is possible, please create a new ticket outlining
how the directories need to be structured.
> Can 'make install' clean target directory prior to installation?

> Multiple versions of mochiweb in the erlang/lib directory can/will cause the

> I'm not certain this isn't a bug.
