debhelper puts the following into the "clean" rule in debian/rules:
ifneq "$(wildcard /usr/share/misc/config.sub)" "" cp -f /usr/share/misc/config.sub config.sub endif ifneq "$(wildcard /usr/share/misc/config.guess)" "" cp -f /usr/share/misc/config.guess config.guess endif Three questions: - why are these two files copied in? - are they necessary for the build of the program I am packaging? - they make my .diff.gz file twice their otherwise size; can I delete that entry from my rules file altogether, or otherwise remove them from the output? tia zen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
