makebuildserver: Force creating a fresh virtual machine.
$ makebuildserver --clean
try on your machine

The command "makebuildserver --clean" likely refers to a command used to clean or remove any artifacts or temporary files related to a build server.

In software development, a build server is a computer or server dedicated to automating the process of compiling, testing, and packaging software code. It ensures that the codebase is built correctly and consistently.

The "--clean" option is used to initiate the cleaning process. It is a command-line argument passed to the "makebuildserver" command, which instructs the build server to remove any intermediate files, artifacts, or temporary folders generated during the build process. This helps to ensure a clean and fresh build by eliminating any unwanted or conflicting files from previous builds.

By running "makebuildserver --clean", the build server will start the cleaning process, removing any files that are no longer necessary, freeing up disk space, and preparing the server for the next build.
