Re: [edk2-devel] [PATCH v2] BaseTools: Remove the unnecessary copy action for module output files

["Ni, Ray" <ray.ni@intel.com>]

Liming,
Is there a place or maybe a spec to summarize the build output file location?
Platform may have script to reference some of the output files.
Have a clear documentation from now on if there is not could be great to avoid
future build breakage due to missing some of output files.

Thanks,
Ray
