[jira] Created: (COUCHDB-854) Can 'make install' clean target directory prior to installation?

Can 'make install' clean target directory prior to installation?
----------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: COUCHDB-854
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-854
             Project: CouchDB
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: Build System
         Environment: Installing from source, all versions and platforms
            Reporter: David Richardson


Multiple versions of mochiweb in the erlang/lib directory can/will cause the http stack to malfunction. Can the 'make install' process clean the erlang/lib directory prior to installing a new build?

I'm not certain this isn't a bug.

-------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

The installation process is a write-only operation. I will veto any patch which removes things from the DEST_DIR. I would suggest that some form of versioning be used in the directories, so that multiple installs can co-exist next to each other. If someone thinks that is possible, please create a new ticket outlining how the directories need to be structured.

----------------------------------------

I agree this would be nice. It seems to be our #1 install-related snag.
