[Qemu-devel] .PO files modified under build

[James Hanley]

I have a git clone of qemu, and I build out of qemu-build...  essentially
the layout looks like:
./
  ./qemu/ -> clone of qemu
  ./qemu-build/
  ./Makefile

The contents of the top level Makefile contain the following rules:
rwildcard=$(wildcard $1$2) $(foreach d,$(wildcard $1*),$(call
rwildcard,$d/,$2))
files   := $(call rwildcard,qemu/,*.[ch])

.PHONY: clean_orphan_artifacts
clean_orphan_artifacts: $(note update)
        $(Q)                            \
        $(GIT_VERBOSE)  ;               \
        cd qemu &&                      \
        git clean -f -d -X
                $(call trace,GIT CLEAN)

qemu-build: qemu $(files) clean_orphan_artifacts
        $(Q)    \
        mkdir -p $(@)                   &&      \
        cd $(@)                         &&      \
        ../qemu/configure                       \
                --prefix=$(current_path)/local  \
                --target-list=arm-softmmu       \
                --disable-werror        &&      \
        $(MAKE)                         &&      \
        $(MAKE) install                         \
        $(call trace,BUILD)

It seems that somehow the .po files are being modified under the qemu repo
even though the entire build is out of ./qemu-build.

The two questions are:
   Should the .po files be modified under the qemu path when building out
of another (ie qemu-build)?
   Should the .po files continue to be versioned or placed in .gitignore if
they are (apparently) generated?
