Insofar as I've had a couple of checkins break builds because of this, I support the idea of "fixing" this, but I'm not sure that moving generated project files of the source tree is the way to go. What problem are you really trying to solve? Not having the files show up in "svn status"? Or making sure that files actually get deleted? Maybe we need a more selective "make clean" command instead? More importantly, I would really prefer it if we just had one way of doing things, rather than multiple configurable ways. All of these options make the build and test systems hard to understand and harder to debug, and I've broken the build more times because of this than I have because of generated files ;) -- Dirk --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Chromium Developers mailing list: [email protected] View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-dev -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
