From 8d740a37b92f3d4a0435fe263b32efc7f61c5efb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Riku Voipio Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2015 15:28:26 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] builddeb: remove debian/files before build Commit 3716001bcb7f ("deb-pkg: add source package") added the ability to create a debian changelog file. This exposed that previously the builddeb script hasn't cleared debian/files between builds. As debian/files keeps accumulating entries, the changes file will end up growing indefinelty. With outdated entries in debian/files, builddeb script will exit with failure. This regression impacts those who use "make deb-pkg" target to build kernel into a .deb package and never use "make mrproper" or other means to clean kernel tree from generated directories. To fix the regression, remove debian/files before starting build and in the generated clean rule.
