Well, it seems as if you had trouble understanding the purpose of "make mrproper" judging from your comments that you were surprised about the disappearance of .config. If you were dealing with build directories and various kernel trees etc., then you would probably see how useful this Makefile target can be, and you would also know that a reinstallation of the source had not been necessary. Please don't recommend not to use this Makefile target solely based on your own bad experience where you were bitten once - this was obviously your own fault, not knowing what "make mrproper" is all about at that time.
And recommending to use everytime "make mrproper" without explaining its implications and uses, is just as bad. If I know what it will really do, I'll decide when and if to use it. The make scenario explained in the suse documentation, doesn't need it at all, and therefore, it is not even mentioned in the whole file: install the rpm, cloneconfig, menuconfig/xconfig/config, then make, etc. Nowhere are multiple build directories, trees, etc. People using those complexities usually know what they need. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
