Hello Everyone,

My procedure for dealing with checkflist errors is this...

. When a "./build.sh -u release" fails because of "files in DESTDIR but 
not in flist," I simply go in to DESTDIR and remove these files then do 
my build again.

. When the problem is that "files are in flist but not in DESTDIR," I 
usually wait a few hours and update the sources.

This seems to work well because if there are "extra" files in DESTDIR, I 
imagine they have been removed from the distribution and it is safe to 
do so manually.

If the files haven't arrived yet, but flist thinks they should be there, 
it's a bad idea to trust that my distribution would be complete.

Is there anything wrong with this logic?

Is there a way to speed up a  second run of "./build.sh -u release" 
where the only reason the first run failed was because of flist problems?

Any help would be great. Thank you,

Louis
