I know about rosmake --pre-clean. But what if you just want to clean your package and not build it? There doesn't seem to be a "don't build" flag in rosmake.
When I have a new package that I want to add to my svn repository, I develop it until it is working, then remove the bin, build, and other computer generated files, then do an svn add on the package. I typically remove all these directories by hand...
You can just do roscd your_package_name && make clean to clean out all the generated files from just that package. I typically use rosmake only when building new package the first time to make sure all dependencies are built or when dependencies change. After the initial rosmake, plain make command is much faster and only builds the package I am currently developing.
I've just been informed that the --target option of rosmake will do what I want. For example:
rosmake --target=clean
Thanks tfoote!
I think both rosmake --pre-clean <your-pkg> and make clean are sufficient for cleaning up. Note that make clean (using diamondback) won't delete your bin folder, at least that's what I am observing on my installation. You can prevent subversion from adding target directories by creating a .svnignore file and then setting the 'svn:ignore' property, check svnbook.red-bean.com.
There is also a rosmake -u option which removes the ROS_NOBUILD option from your packages.
You could also run "rosmake --pre-clean your_package_name" to clean and then make your package and the packages on which it depends.
