Subject: kbuild: removing .tmp_versions considered harmful
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.17-rc4~23^2~4
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fca1dff218163ffd34d1e9e0b9b244e8c8803601;p=linux-2.6

kbuild: removing .tmp_versions considered harmful

Remove *.mod files but not .tmp_versions for external builds

When "make install" is run as root, .tmp_versions is re-created and
becomes owned by root.  Subsequent "make" run by user fails because
.tmp_versions cannot be removed.
