            Bug ID: 12276
           Summary: make clean/distclean does not remove BR2_DL_DIR and
                    BR2_HOST_DIR
           Product: buildroot
           Version: 2019.08.1
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: Other
          Assignee: unassigned at buildroot.uclibc.org
          Reporter: br-max at re-gister.com
                CC: buildroot at uclibc.org
  Target Milestone: ---

If the buildroot configuration has a custom BR2_DL_DIR and/or BR2_HOST_DIR (in
my case it points to a path outside of the buildroot tree), then the 'make
clean' and 'make distclean' commands do not remove the content of these
directories.

Is it a bug or normal behaviour that custom download and host directories are
excluded from the cleanup?

--- Comment #1 from Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com> ---
For BR2_DL_DIR, this is clearly an intended behavior.

However, for BR2_HOST_DIR, it does remove it properly. See:

$ grep ^BR2_HOST_DIR .config
BR2_HOST_DIR="/tmp/foobar-host"

$ ls /tmp/foobar-host/
arm-buildroot-linux-uclibcgnueabi  bin  etc  include  lib  lib64  opt  share 
usr

$ make clean
rm -rf /home/thomas/projets/buildroot/output/target
/home/thomas/projets/buildroot/output/images /tmp/foobar-host
/home/thomas/projets/buildroot/output/host \
        /home/thomas/projets/buildroot/output/build
/home/thomas/projets/buildroot/output/staging \
        /home/thomas/projets/buildroot/output/legal-info
/home/thomas/projets/buildroot/output/graphs

$ ls /tmp/foobar-host/
ls: cannot access '/tmp/foobar-host/': No such file or directory

I used "make clean", but "make distclean" implies "make clean".

So I think it all works as intended.
