Automatically generated files still under version control

Hi,

I commited some changes that I made over the last couple of days to
gr-trellis (make distcheck works fine).
I realized that some files in gr-trellis/src/lib are still under version
control, while they are not supposed to be since they are
automatically generated:

trellis_generated.i
Makefile.gen

I tried several combinations of the svn propset command but couldn’t
make it work. Can someone more knowledable on svn fix this.

Thanks
Achilleas

I just fixed this in r4472.

You would just need to delete the files from the repository using ‘svn
del’, as in:

$ svn del trellis_generated.i Makefile.gen

Then do a check-in with an appropriate log comment.

(But I just did this for you.)

By the way, you’ll need to also edit the svn:ignore property for that
directory, and add all the generated files so they don’t show up as ? in
the status:

$ svn propedit svn:ignore .

It will accept wildcards, but make sure you don’t overdo it and match
files that it shouldn’t.

Jonathan,

either Makefile.gen is automatically generated (as the waning says),
but I don’t know how :slight_smile: or the warning is misleading…

After ./bootstrap and configure,
make complains that it is not there.
I guess that’s why it was in the svn repository in the first place.
Should have known better vefore I second guess the gurus.

Could you please advice how to regenerate Makefile.gen
Once I do that, I will upload it to the repo.

Thanks
Achilleas
