[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.

Noah Slater closed COUCHDB-854.
-------------------------------
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.
