   2  Notes for util-linux-ng developers
   3  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   4
   5  * generated files are unwanted in SCM (git) and also very unwanted in your
   6    patches.
   7
   8  * "./autogen.sh" generates all necessary files (run it after checkout from
   9    git)
  10
  11  * "make mrproper" removes all generates files. You have to call "./autogen.sh"
  12    after mrproper.
  13
  14  * "make distclean" is subset of mrproper. It removes all unnecessary files,
  15    but code is still possible recompile by "./configure; make"
  16
  17  * "make dist-gzip" (or -bzip2) creates tarball which is possible use without
  18    autogen.sh
