- haolez 1y agoMakefiles are bad with state that is not represented as files, right? I remember that I had to create "stamp" files with hashes and things like that to overcome this limitation. There is also .PHONY, but that would make the rule to always be triggered. Maybe I'm misremembering, it's been a long time :)
- xyzzy_plugh 1y agoMakefiles are for building artifacts. They are wholly inadequate at orchestrating environments and task pipelines. Can you do it? Sure, but somewhere someone is going to be suffering.
- DonHopkins 1y agoBetter yet, use a well organized "rm -rf" command!
