Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH] punt unused clean/distclean targets

Dear Mike Frysinger,

In message 1316323020-4027-1-git-send-email-vapier@gentoo.org you wrote:

The top level Makefile does not do any recursion into subdirs when cleaning, so these clean/distclean targets in random arch/board dirs never get used. Punt them all.

I think this is the wrong approach. Would it not be better to get rid of the 60 lines of clean/clobber target in the top level Makefile, including it's brute force methods of "find ... | xargs rm -f" and actually remove the files from the Makefiles in the respective directories instead?

This would for example allow that a board maintainer can fix the clean / clobber rules for his code without having to edit the top level Makefile.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
