I guess I'd argue that while 99% of the contents of man/html is generate
and can be delete, that the directory itself and the Makefile stuff
shouldn't be deleted.
patch-ac -- adds missing man/html/Makefile.am. This makes sure that the
preformatted .html manual will show up in the .tar.gz
distribution file so the end user won't be required to have
latex and hevea installed just to be able to get the manual.
It also installs the html manual as part of 'make install'
man/html is a generated directory, so even Makefile.am must be a
generated file. How to generate? Copy from stash place?
but why ever totally remove the man/html directory? Why not just remove
all of the generated files in there? Or does HeVeA have some issue with
that?
patch-ad -- adds a new header file to the list of sources
I missed it because the old build system separates .cc from .h files.
Missing a .h file in Makefile.am seemed to have no visible symptoms,
except in making a dist file.
If you make use of the mkid or etags/ctags functionality then that file
will be missing there too.
patch-ae -- adds a couple of new test netlists which appeared
Those files change often, and are always accessed by wildcard.
Should the makefile use wildcard instead of explicit list?
Probably not a bad idea.
patch-ae -- adds a couple of new test outputs which appeared
This is a generated directory. It was luck that it was there at all.
Copy from a stash place?
I'd probably rather see the directory not disappear but just most of the
contents.
