'install' is safe. It's enough to know what it does. 'install's purpose is to copy all files required to use the package to a location which the user specifies. This location is typically outside the realm of SVN. > Anyway, a deletion of all installed files via a clean flag could be the > safest way of avoid this problems. clean's job is not to mess with anything the user has 'install'ed. This is basic make system principle. Installed files are outside the realm of SVN or our "jurisdiction". It's users responsibility to update them, or delete them. If install is a problem for someone, or someone isn't sure about what it does, it should not be used, that's all. Harbour can perfectly work on any platforms without using 'install'. I personally use 'install' only when creating a stable binary build for my own projects.

That would be the whole point of such move actually.
