resource-set.make not removing on uninstall xxx_RESOURCE_DIRS directories
created on install

Follow-up Comment #2:
Can you clarify what is the problem here ?
FYI - if you install gnustep-base using
make install
you can uninstall it using
make uninstall
*But* if you install it using
make install GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN=XXX
then the correct command to uninstall is --
make uninstall GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN=XXX
(just saying because I wondered if the original reports of gnustep-base not
uninstalling correctly were not due to it being installed in one domain,
then
uninstalled from another domain).
Once the GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN used when installing and uninstalling
match, then as far as I can see, uninstallation works fine. All files are
removed.
We do leave some empty directories behind - but gnustep-make has never made
any attempt to remove empty directories on uninstall, so this is nothing
new.
Are the empty directories the issue ? Eg, I see the Languages/ directory
being
mentioned as being left behind. That is created using gnustep-make's
xxx_RESOURCE_DIRS so I guess we should enhance gnustep-make to remove
on uninstall directories (if empty) that were created using
xxx_RESOURCE_DIRS.
I assume that's the bug reported here ?
Thanks
