Sure, but is it necessary to run the find command for removing backup files in make distclean? When the find command is removed you'd still end up with a tree that's clean enough to perform a build from scratch, although the tree won't be perfectly clean. BTW. I usually build in a separate directory, that makes cleaning up even easier :-) Ronald > > -Barry > > _______________________________________________ > Python-Dev mailing list > Python-Dev@python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev > Unsubscribe: > http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/ronaldoussoren%40mac.com _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
