build: failure because of old file modules/tests/usr.manifest

[nyh]

I just got "make image=tests" failing because modules/tests/usr.manifest listed incorrect files.

This usr.manifest is built automatically during build from usr.manifest.skel. However, it seems recently usr.manifest.skel was updated (to use a newer version of boost) and yet "make" did not rebuild usr.manifest.

I tried "make clean" and hoped to get a clean build, but it didn't help - "make clean" did not remove usr.manifest. This is a bad - "make clean"'s module cleanup stage should remove this file too.

Manually removing modules/tests/usr.manifest solved my build problem.

@nyh can you confirm if this issue still happens? The tests makefile has changed quite dramatically since this issue was raised 7 years ago.

Currently, the tests makefile generates usr.manifest every time you build the test image so any old manifest with bad files would simply be refreshed. Also, the makefile has clean target that should remove all manifest files.

Am I misunderstanding the issue?

It seems like maybe in the past, usr.manifest wasn't in the build/ directory? I'm not even sure. Closing.
