[oi-dev] Q: When to delete components.mk file?

Hi,

Is there a rule when to delete the components/components.mk file in the 
build environment?
It will be automatically generated if it's missing. Sometimes it 
contains outdated information
that lead to errors (in my case it was the outdated gnu-gs-fonts-other 
package that has been
moved to the fonts directory).

So my question is: is there a rule of thumb for when to delete this 
file? Removing it whenever
I use "gmake download" seems to avoid problems but maybe it's less often 
necessary?

Regards
Andreas
