Re: Best Packaging Practices, act II

[Erich Schubert <erich@debian.org>]

I also recommend trying to build into a different dir for packages using
autoconf/automake... (others might be difficult...)
I tried that with galeon, due to compiling twice with different
configure options - and it worked just great.
This can ease making clean a lot, as you just need to rm the build
directory.
i.e.   mkdir build; cd build; ../configure

I like the idea of having all files touched by the build process
separate from the source.

Gruss,
Erich Schubert
