Do we really need file `all'?

Do we really need file `all'?

[Jike Song]

Hi Sam,

 In commit a680eedc6c621c75695c68198533fc3c98f4053b you introduced the
following code:

        exuberant()
        {
                all_sources > all
                all_sources | xargs ....{snip}...

This will generate a regular file named `all' in the repository, which
is not included in .gitignore.
Do we really need this file? I think the second run of all_source is
enough.  Or otherwise should
we add it into .gitignore?

I'm not subscribing linux-kbuild list so please CC me in replies, thanks.

Besides, there are still some asm-{arch} under include/ now.  The
current kbuild/scripts will find them by default, which seems not to
be a good idea:


$ grep "include/asm-" cscope.files |awk -F"/" '{ print $2 }'|uniq
asm-generic
asm-frv
asm-h8300
asm-m68k
asm-mn10300
asm-m32r
asm-arm
asm-xtensa

All architectures are scehuled to move their .h files to
arch/$ARCH/include/* in this merge window.

So when this has happened we are all clear.
