name : remove-stale-files #!/bin/sh set -e # When you move, remove or rename generated files, you probably also update # .gitignore and cleaning rules in the Makefile. This is the right thing # to do. However, people usually do 'git pull', 'git bisect', etc. without # running 'make clean'. Then, the stale generated files are left over, often # causing build issues. # # Also, 'git status' shows such stale build artifacts as untracked files. # What is worse, some people send a wrong patch to get them back to .gitignore # without checking the commit history. # # So, when you (re)move generated files, please move the cleaning rules from # the Makefile to this script. This is run before Kbuild starts building # anything, so people will not be annoyed by such garbage files. # # This script is not intended to grow endlessly. Rather, it is a temporary scrap # yard. Stale files stay in this file for a while (for some release cycles?), # then will be really dead and removed from the code base entirely. rm -f arch/powerpc/purgatory/kexec-purgatory.c rm -f arch/riscv/purgatory/kexec-purgatory.c rm -f arch/x86/purgatory/kexec-purgatory.c rm -f scripts/extract-cert rm -f scripts/kconfig/[gmnq]conf-cfg rm -f rust/target.json rm -f scripts/bin2c rm -f .scmversion rm -rf include/ksym find . -name '*.usyms' | xargs rm -f rm -f *.spec
