hello,

i guess this is an easy question,

how can you remove all the makefiles and whatnot and basically restore the source package to its original form after you've called "./configure" or even "make" ?

for instance you changed the source code then you ran ./configure then make then make install ....etc
you checked the software and it functioned as you expected it does , now you want to remove all the makefiles and all that other jizz that you don't need or want anymore in the source (obviously in order to package it for distribution)

what is the "standard" method for doing so?

cheers

P.S i hope my question isn't too weird ....lol
