Hi,
Actually I put sudo infront of "rm -rf" call in buildslave source, even if
I do not want to change source. But this one is easy to remember to be able
to repeat while upgrading. I want to ask that it could not be good to add
to clobber mode a parameter or something like this clobber -f, which put a
sudo infront of remove command.

By the way I now we should not use sudo in build process but we have to use.

Thanks in advance
