Why? This is unnecessary, and a bad change; please don't do it! > - $(RM) $(DESTDIR)$(bindir)/gideal > + rm -f $(DESTDIR)$(bindir)/gideal See, the entire purpose of defining a macro for RM is that it gives me, as a package builder, the option to override the default 'rm -f'. By removing that definition, you've not changed the default behaviour in any way, but you've robbed me of the option to substitute a preferred alternative. I consider this to be a regression. -- Regards, Keith.
