Noisy CVS updates
When I build from CVS I wind up with this in my CVS update email in the
morning:
? GNUmakefile
? config.log
? config.status
? src/Makefile.global
? src/backend/postgres
? src/backend/bootstrap/bootstrap_tokens.h
? src/backend/catalog/postgres.bki
? src/backend/catalog/postgres.description
? src/backend/catalog/postgres.shdescription
? src/backend/parser/parse.h
? src/backend/snowball/snowball_create.sql
...etc. Would it be OK if I went in and added .cvsignore files to keep
the noise level down? I guess I could have my daily script filter them
out but there may be times when there really is an unexpected file and
I want to follow up on it.

Uh, no, at least not before you've explained why you get those messages
and others don't.
(Personally, I never do "cvs update" without "make distclean" first;
there are too many other ways to get screwed by updating a live build
tree.)

I didn't know that I am the only one. Am I?

I assume that you are talking about conflicts. In fact, that's one of
the main reasons for wanting a quiet update so that I can catch those
right away when I am working on some files. I do an automatic update
daily to keep current with the head. I don't do a "make distclean"
first because I may be working on something and I want to keep the
changes in the tree to try stuff and report patches against HEAD.

Huh? distclean does not remove any source-code changes, only derived
files.

You are not. I got more or less the same this morning while preparing my
new packages.
But as Tom stated, after running make distclean, everything worked fine.

Lots of other people do get them -- they are visible in the patches they
send. Since I use a VPATH build, which puts all those files in a
separate directory, I get (almost?) no noise even though I don't bother
with "make distclean" most of the time.

Sorry, I was unclear. I meant that I might still be working on some
source code changes and I didn't want to do a distclean every morning
and then have to rebuild the tree in order to be able to work on my
changes again. I use CVS in enough projects to understand how it works.

+1. It might be possible to get screwed by not doing a distclean, but
the build time savings seems worth it (first thing I do if I get a
build error is make clean/distclean).

maintainer-clean is even better as far as removing build errors, and
I've never noticed any time difference between it and clean or
distclean.
