Remove log files on uninstall?

[ The second mail that wasn't distributed. ]


Hoi,

I figured out that masqmail currently does not uninstall all file it
installs. I'm trying to improve this.

The question now is: What should `make uninstall' do with existing log
files? (/var/log/masqmail) Remove or leave?

Similar for configuration files. (/etc/masqmail)

Opinions welcome.


For the spool directory I think it should remove it if it is empty,
but leave existing spool files, if any, there.

NOTE while sending it the second time:

Now one day is gone since sending the mail first. I had discussions
with people about this. The approach I like best currently is:
`make uninstall' removes everything that was installed (with `make
install') but leaves dirs that contain generated files (like log
files). Maybe we could add a target (``purge'' like in Debian?) that
removes them completely. For config files, I'm not sure. Currently, no
masqmail.conf gets installed anyway.
