Hi,
Please do not run 'make clean' in the 5.2 tree, at least until we're
sure that the installation is working completely. Someone did that
yesterday, and today, when I went to make a small change to the
install program, I had to rebuild everything. The problem isn't so
much that I had to rebuild everything, as that I knew I had to rebuild
the bootdisks and, due to the dependencies, it wanted to rebuild
EVERYTHING (when I'm fairly sure I only needed to rebuild the supp
disk).
So, please do not run 'make clean' until we've got a completely
working install. It makes life easier; you have less you have to
test at every change (well, gee, boot.img didn't change so I know
it still works ;) and it really doesn't take up that much extra
disk space.
Thanks for your support.
