I mean, isn't .gitignore an unnecessary complication? No one will want to keep src/ and pkg/ etc after they are done anyway. Since they will delete them after (e), they might as well do it before (e). Just my opinion.
That depends on the workflow of the maintainer. I like to let those files stick around, so I can easily downgrade a package when necessary without redownloading and/or rebuilding sources.
Especially VCS sources (mentioned in my other mail) shouldn't be deleted, resulting in downloading the complete tree over and over again.
Fair enough. -- Νῖκος Θεοδώρου «Ἀγεωμέτρητος μηδεὶς εἰσίτω!»
