           Summary: Build process misses some dependency
           Product: Exim
           Version: 4.76
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: bug
          Priority: low
         Component: Unfiled
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]

After a successful build I changed src/transports/appendfile.{h,c} to add
a new option to the appendfiles option block.

Unfortunately this change needs to be promoted up to drtables.o (drtables.c
includes appendfile.h). This dependency is not coded in the Makefiles.

In build-*/Makefile is a notice about this dependency, telling that the lower
level Makefiles (src/transports/Makefile) remove the drtables.o in case of any
change. But I got the impression, that this is not done.

(Probably my fix has to be applied to other lower level Makefiles too. I didnt'
to that, because I'd say, much more cleaner would be, if we encode this
dependency in build-*/Makefile. But, again, there is some notice about exactly
such an attempt - having unexpected results in IRIX, this notice is undated,
probably it is outdated meanwhile?
