Description Bogdan Cristea 2012-10-31 16:26:16 UTC

Currently emerge allows to clean the build folder and its temporary files. I might be useful to have an option to clean all installed files, so that to be able to launch another compilation, e.g. from Debug, to compile Release packages.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge --buildtype=Debug okular
2.emerge --offline --buildtype=Release
Actual Results:  
Step 2 fails.

Expected Results:  
Between step 1 and 2 an emerge --cleaninstalled is needed to delete installed files

Hm, this won't make to much sense since for switching between Debug and Release/RelWithDebInfo you need to delete everything anyway (you only can keep source/download dirs, the emerge dir and of course etc\kdesettings.bat).
