Description Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2011-10-24 09:19:00 UTC
Like the summary states. Note: source dirs, unlike built kernels, have no prefix (call make?). Investigate: how do other *-sources name their dirs?
Comment 1 Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2011-10-24 09:30:52 UTC
Alternative concept: let portage handle that, and just remove /usr/src directories containing only built objects and no sources anymore.
Comment 2 Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn gentoo-dev 2011-10-24 10:00:17 UTC
I think comment #1 can become a problem when the user chooses a build directory which is different from the source directory.

Yeah, it wouldn't exactly fit into the current concept as well, introducing rather second separate function.

OTOH, the build directory problem seems to apply to all possible attempts because the idea is to remove build directory when it is no longer useful.

Ok, should be handled in 02ac99d89410d13.

Ah, 0.1.2 released already.
