I'm just wondering - what is the expectation/common use...

When I'm building up images, I use "make image" all the time. It's fast, and 
great when I'm just making some minor changes in the romfs/ directory. When 
I'm testing things out, I just edit scripts (like /etc/rc) in the romfs/ 
directory directly, and then just "make image". Works like a charm.


However, a problem occurs if I need to do a 'make' in the dist (to rebuild 
some missing app), since my vendors/*/*/Makefile includes a:

$(ROMFSINST) /etc/rc

(like 150 other Makefiles) and romfs-inst.sh clobbers overtop of my local 
changes in romfs/etc/rc with the one from vendors/*/*/rc

I could just stop making changes in the romfs/ directory (and do everything 
in ./vendors/*/* - which I don't do today - since I don't want to check 
anything into cvs/svn by mistake - and builds would take longer), or I could 
add a new flag to romfs-inst.sh (which would not copy the file if it already 
existed) - which would cause problems for people who expect today's 
behaviour....


Is ./romfs suppost to be the output of everything? (and people shouldn't be 
editing things there?)
