Hello from Debian. Some time ago, there was a QA effort by Lucas Nussbaum to ensure that the clean target of Debian packages was correct. The alpine package was affected, and this was the error:
> [...] > dpkg-source: warning: ignoring deletion of file pith/Makefile.in, use > --include-removal to override > dpkg-source: warning: ignoring deletion of file pith/osdep/Makefile.in, use > --include-removal to override > dpkg-source: warning: ignoring deletion of file pith/charconv/Makefile.in, > use --include-removal to override > dpkg-source: info: local changes detected, the modified files are: > alpine-2.26+dfsg/web/src/Makefile > alpine-2.26+dfsg/web/src/alpined.d/Makefile > alpine-2.26+dfsg/web/src/pubcookie/Makefile > dpkg-source: error: aborting due to unexpected upstream changes, see > /tmp/alpine_2.26+dfsg-1.diff.3mBJCF These kind of errors are first and foremost a problem in the Debian package, but in some cases, and I believe this is one of them, it may indicate a problem in the upstream makefiles. In this case one would wonder why ./configure; make; make clean would leave those three Makefiles there: web/src/Makefile web/src/alpined.d/Makefile web/src/pubcookie/Makefile instead of they being removed, which is what one would naturally expect from "make clean" when it's the case that those Makefiles are generated from their Makefile.in templates. Thanks.
