[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #55259] oct-file-pkg-add not removed even by 'make maintainer-clean'

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #55259 (project octave):

Thanks.  Is the 'clean' target the correct one for this file?  My
understanding is that if the compiler built it, 'clean' should remove it.  If
configure built it, 'distclean' should remove it.  If it is something else,
then 'maintainer-clean' should certainly remove it.

We have a variable BUILT_DISTFILES which are for files only created when 'make
dist' is run.


BUILT_DISTFILES += \
  AUTHORS \
  BUGS \
  ChangeLog \
  HG-ID \
  INSTALL.OCTAVE


Maybe oct-file-pkg-add should go here since it is only created for 'make
dist'?  BUILT_DISTFILES is already part of MAINTAINERCLEANFILES so it would
get removed if it were added to the list above.

I didn't look at this closely until I saw your patch or I might have suggested
this earlier.  We can also keep it as is since this isn't a big deal.
