This might be related to Peter's changes to the docs build procedure. The way things work now is that if you've built the docs in the past, and haven't cleaned them out with "make maintainer-clean" (distclean doesn't cut it), then an ordinary "make install" will install the html files --- and first it will update them if they're out of date relative to the source SGML files. This bites me regularly in my own source tree, since a "cvs update" will often bring in new SGML files. My usual work flow is "make distclean; cvs update; configure; make; make install" and the lack of removal of previously built docs triggers an unwanted rebuild. I've complained about this but I have to admit that I don't see a very clean solution, since we can't have make distclean removing the built docs. I'll probably have to adjust my workflow. That doesn't in itself explain a problem with building from the alpha tarball though. Is it possible there's a clock skew problem in the tarball's file timestamps? regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
