I poked around in the alpha4 tarball and didn't find clock skew. What I found out was that there's some fundamental fuzzy thinking in the new docs build process: * install-html depends on html depends on $(GENERATED_SGML) * $(GENERATED_SGML) is removed by make clean, therefore also by make distclean Ergo, this type of failure is *guaranteed* when trying to build from a distribution tarball. This needs to be rethought. It might be sufficient to not clean $(GENERATED_SGML) except in make maintainer-clean, but I'm not convinced that's a nice solution. 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
