Yes -- maybe with a warning like: "These target is meant for using by the maintainers". The other solution would be to simply remove these target and to use a local Makefile on the server. It's more clean from the user's point of view, and just some little extra work for the maintainers. What would you suggest? > Is there any reason why the phony targets are not declared to be > phony?
