Pacignore housekeeping (part 1) #200

Closed atreyasha closed 2 years ago

Checklist

Description

This PR aims at completing housekeeping tasks which are shown above as check-boxes. Currently, I have updated and simplified the Makefile with pattern rules and shell for-loops (plus tested installation and uninstallation locally). I'll work on the other tasks gradually.

For now, WDYT about the changes to the Makefile?

PS: As of this commit, some of the Makefile targets will not work because they require a different directory structure which I have not committed as yet (but I have it locally for testing). I meant to get your feedback on the pattern-rules and for-loops in the Makefile, and whether there could be more efficient/compact ways of implementing them.

As this PR is getting quite large (both in terms of effort and diff size) and it is only going to get larger with changes to locales, I will merge it now and open a new PR for the next steps
