[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #45646] files in source distribution should not be deleted on "clean" or "distclean"

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #45646 (project octave):

I've always thought that the clean rules could be written something like
this:


clean:
        rm -f some files that are built by make
        rm -f perhaps leaving some that are not
        rm -f included in a tarball distribution

distclean: clean
        rm -f some other files so that
        rm -f we are back to the set of files
        rm -f from a tarball distribution

maintainer-clean: distclean
        rm -f also remove files that need special
        rm -f tools to rebuild that only maintainers
        rm -f are expected to have


Is that not correct?
