Public bug reported:
First off, I wish there were somewhere that I could express just how
grateful I am that this file manager exists. It is exactly what I want
in a file manager, and doesn't come with / force me into all kinds of
things that I don't want.
I always tell configure to set my prefix to a temporary directory somewhere so
I can see how well something uninstalls when I don't have a readily available
Arch package for it.
In doing so on this, I found that it leaves files all over PREFIX-DIR/share
such as a .desktop and locale files
I don't really know how uninstalling is supposed to handle these, but I would
assume when you run "make uninstall" you want it to remove everything it
installs with "make install" which it fails to in this instance.
On a side note that I'm not sure is a bug / is a bug with marlin; when
compiling using the latest git version of the vala compiler, marlin
segfaults on startup. If requested, I'll file this as a separate bug
with a backtrace I have saved.
Thanks again for the awesome file manager. +1 doing things right.
