    The share/www removal is because 'make distclean' is run in a typical build environment to remove all the stuff that ./configure created (typically to build an upstream source release, you would want to do a make distclean first, to clean up anything from before, and then start again. The 'make clean' is what would delete all the files that make created, and 'distclean' the ones that ./configure created).
    
    In the Makefile there is:
    
    ```
    distclean: clean
    	@rm -rf rel/couchdb
    	@rm -rf share/www
    ```
    
    
    In the 'release' target, you are already distributing the pre-made share/www stuff, so removing it in distclean is working against us :)
    
    ```
    	cp -r share/www apache-couchdb/share/
    ```
