I was looking at the arch/powerpc/boot/.gitignore file.
Why are all of those non-local-directory files listed there?
E.g., empty.c, inf*.c, inf*.h, zconf.h, zlib.h, zutil.h, etc.
Why would these files be listed in arch/powerpc/boot/.gitignore ??
Because they're created when building a bootwrapper?
And what is "dtc"? I see a dtc-src directory, but "dtc" is MIA.
./arch/powerpc/boot/dtc
Where do you see that? That's not in 2.6.27-rc6 nor in the current
powerpc.git tree. They both have:
Of course not -- it wouldn't be in gitignore if it weren't a generated file.
pwd
/var/linsrc/lin2627-rc6/arch/powerpc/boot
ls -ld dt*
drwxr-xr-x 2 rdunlap users 4096 Jul 13 14:51 dtc-src/
drwxr-xr-x 2 rdunlap users 4096 Sep 9 19:33 dts/
which leads me to believe that the .gitignore entry should be either
dts or dtc-src or both, but not "dtc".
Why would we want to ignore source directories? dtc is the binary that
is built from dtc-src.
