7432	curl install breaks build directoey	Tim Tassonis	blfs-book@…	"The install install instructions:
{{{
find docs \( -name Makefile\* \
          -o -name \*.1       \
          -o -name \*.3 \)    \
          -exec rm {} \;      &&
install -v -d -m755 /usr/share/doc/curl-7.47.0 &&
cp -v -R docs/*     /usr/share/doc/curl-7.47.0
}}}

works ok, but have the side effect that the build directory gets broken, e.g. a following make (or make install) will miss files and fail. Also, it will still copy a /usr/share/doc/curl-7.47.0/examples/.deps folder that is unneeded. Therefore I suggest to change this to:

{{{
install -v -d -m755 /usr/share/doc/curl-7.47.0 &&
cp -v -R docs/* /usr/share/doc/curl-7.47.0 &&
find /usr/share/doc/curl-7.47.0 \( -name Makefile\* \
-o -name \*.1 \
-o -name \*.3 \) \
-exec rm {} \; &&
rm -rf /usr/share/doc/curl-7.47.0/examples/.deps
}}}
This will leave the build directory unharmed and do the necessary cleanups in the destination directory."	defect	closed	low	7.9	BOOK	SVN	low	wontfix
