Also note that there are also dependencies in the other direction. For
example, the psql help is compiled from XML DocBook sources. So your
other patch would also need to include similar changesInclude() clauses.
If there are more cases like this, it may not be worth it. Instead, we can just:
- Build the docs when the doc related files are changed (This still
creates a dependency like you said).
- Skip CI completely if the README files are changed.
What are your opinions on these?
I don't have a good sense of what you are trying to optimize for. If
it's the mainline build-on-every-commit type, then I wonder how many
commits would really be affected by this. Like, how many commits touch
only a README file. If it's for things like the cfbot, then I think the
time-triggered builds would be more frequent than new patch versions, so
I don't know if these kinds of optimizations would affect anything.
