Hi Ivan,
>> BTW, why not make the backup suffix configurable, with an option to
>> omit making backups at all? Like:
It works with your patch:
18:43 news at news ~/work/inn/trunk% make -n update
../support/install-sh -c -o news -g news -m 0644 -B .OLD $F /home/news/include/$F ; \
18:44 news at news ~/work/inn/trunk% make -n BACKUP_OPTION='' update
../support/install-sh -c -o news -g news -m 0644 $F /home/news/include/$F ; \
However, I believe you would have wanted something like "make update nobackup" or
"make --nobackup update". However, make does not support such constructions.
Do you have a better idea?
