thanks for the pointer Koen! to be sure I understand this correctly: the INHERIT += "rm_work" setting will remove the work/ directories only? the subject of that thread was removing source, and I don't want to hammer servers by deleting and re-downloading the complete source all the time. source/ directory is fine (and shouldn't grow much when updating). also is there a special reason why this setting isn't enabled by default? Thanks, Andreas
