Hello,
I'm really interested why it is how it is.
I'd highly appreciate if someone can confirm that the current behaviour
of the clean: target is the intended behaviour.
If so, the clean-depends: can be retired, can it?
I'm ignoring this – to my understanding – oddity for more then a decade,
without ever stumbling over any scenario where the behaviour would have
been self clarifiying.
For now I'm using the clean-wrkdir: target instead of clean:, but since
nobody answered yet, I guess my question is unclear or I'm missing
somthing ultimate obvious, so the question isn't unclear but stupid?!?
Thanks,
