make uninstall missing
Following Build instructions there's no section about how to remove or clean up the system, for example make uninstall, or at least say something in documentation. How to I remove files installed with sudo make install?
I suppose CMake doesn't generate this target, and 99% of software packages out there don't have it either, so shrug.
The installer can generate a text file called darlinghq-installed-files, then you uninstall with xargs rm -rf <darlinghq-installed-files or any related shell script. You must prevent bloating systems just because, it's a bad practice.
The idea is to be able to completely undo what is installed on the system by sudo make install lkm_install, so there's no need to restore a backup of the operating system to restore it to its previous state.
