Hi,

So the question: someone went out of their way to write this so it is
definately a feature and no bug. Would someone elaborate on that a bit?
Those erased files are actually automatically generated by a tool named "flux":
http://git.directfb.org/?p=core/flux.git;a=summary
This tool grabs files with .flux extension and converts them into
sources and headers.
If you look at the git repository, you will find these flux files.
http://git.directfb.org/?p=core/DirectFB.git;a=blob;f=src/core/CoreDFB.flux;h=2ecd3143495905e7906980a993b33eaf4a0882ef;hb=HEAD
However, the flux files are not in tarballs so that's why you don't have them.
Event if you do have them, you need to have flux installed.
So I think you've found a bug in the building process.
I'm not sure how it should be fixed, perhaps not erasing the files
with disclean.
On the other side, not being part of DFB team. I don't really understand
*why* is flux not a part of DirectFB itself. It doesn't make much sense
to me to have it on a separate repo and to use it only for git building.
Maybe someone can put some light on this issue?
Regards,
Ezequiel.
