New Rule: No more building release tarballs at four in the morning.

I rm -rfed the wrong directory and blew away my working copy of the Cinf compiler. I didn't lose any of the compiler itself - thank God for version control - but all of my test programs and scratch stuff are gone. D'oh.

Even worse, I accidentally posted this to debian at first. Yikes. Time to go to bed before I break something else.

Having rm -rfed /usr before, I vote they just disable -rf after midnight. You can make a list of what you want to get rid of and delete in the morning.

That sounds like a splendid idea. Actually, while I'm at it, disabling package management software after midnight also sounds like a great idea.
