Re: [Ltib] ./ltib -m patchmerge -p kernel # distclean does not clean up ARCH specific files

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Aaron,

I had a quick look and it's not so straightforward as the distclean is 
in the ltib script.  Unfortunately the kernel spec file does some 
computation of the ARCH and it's based on LINTARCH and can change for 
ppc/powerpc.  For now I'll leave it.  In the docs it mention you need to 
clean up.

If anyone has time to whip up a proper patch for this (tested) that 
would be great.  It still needs to work for other packages aside from 
the kernel.

Regards, Stuart
