Description Michał Górny archtester

Like the summary states. Note: source dirs, unlike built kernels, have no prefix (call make?). Investigate: how do other *-sources name their dirs?

Alternative concept: let portage handle that, and just remove /usr/src directories containing only built objects and no sources anymore.

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.
