The ./configure step might not be needed anymore since 00691c6c90b2 ("tools: Allow to make *-dir-force-update without ./configure") and `make src-tarball-release` works without issue, without running ./configure that is. And yes, `subtree-force-update-all` prereq could be dropped from "src-tarbal%" targets in this patch. I've just tried, and the produced tarball is the same without or with the prereq. As for removing the rule "subtree-force-update-all", I don't think that's a good idea at all. As long as Xen's build systems is cloning subtrees we need to keep the rule. Those subtrees aren't going away anytime soon, especially mini-os for stubdom. Cheers, -- Anthony Perard | Vates XCP-ng Developer XCP-ng & Xen Orchestra - Vates solutions web: https://vates.tech
