Description Michal Nowak 2008-05-09 16:31:39 UTC 
Description of problem:

In revision 9 of rhnlib-2.1.2 the target clean of Makefile in test/ directory
fails to works simply because the file .cvsignore is missing in this revision,
in revision 8 is included.

Please, provide that file back or, preferably, use attached patch to get rid of
that. From my POV having in source package parts of CVS infrastructure is weird
solution.

Sorry for the bad one, this is the right one.

It's pretty easy to reproduce it. 

1) Install srpm package if current release 2.1.2-9

2) go to /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/ and unpack the rhnlib-2.1.2.tar.gz and go to
test/ directory. There's no .cvsignore file which is mentioned in clean target
of test/Makefile.

clean:
        @rm -fv `cat .cvsignore`

I guess the file is in CVS but not in tarball (from my POV creating tarball via
CVS does not copy it's repository structure like .CVS/ and .cvsignore).
