| For the same reason that we keep the orig files for patches:
| To make it easy to regenerate patches.
But that is relevant only to people developing patches. and only
for the packages that you are actually developing the packages for.
| If SUBST also made .orig files,
It does, but ...
| Of course we could use a different suffix,
It does, .subst.sav ... but they're removed after the SUBST
is done, unless you set a magic var to cause them to be kept (it
is all documented, kind of, in subst.mk)
That's just what developers need - they can find out what SUBST did,
when they are developing (or updgrading) a package, but all the rest
of the time, when they serve no purpose, they are removed.
Want to try again for wy SUBST and patch are treated differently?
| but still I don't really see the point of your crusade against .orig files.
It is hardly a crusade just a request for sanity, and consistency.
