Yes, we do. A patch made in July 2005 has this comment:

"ignore files listed in cvsignore files - this will stop

inappropriate

triggering of vpath builds."

Perhaps I should only do that for vpath builds. Or perhaps I should
even remove them at the end of a build, since we don't

expect any of

those files in a clean repo, do we?

Also, in case anyone has not got the message yet: Don't

ever build by

hand in the buildfarm repo. Ever. I mean it. Use a copy.

I have just committed a patch that removes the cvsignore trap. This
should be safe as we now remove them at the end of a
buildfarm vpath run.

cheers
