I'm building under Debian. To clean the source tree after building, I've tried make clean debuild clean but what often happens is that after updating to a later svn revision and then trying to build, I get various errors during the compilation process that disappear if I make a clean checkout from the repository and run the build again. I have also found that using svn export to reproduce the tree in another directory, then building from that directory, doesn't always solve the problem. Is there a better way to clean up the source tree after updating it, to avoid these issues? I assume there are extraneous modifications or files that simply aren't being eliminated by the "clean" makefile targets.
