I'm converting our book production scripts from make to Rake, and seem
to have bumped into an issue.
Say I want to convert XML to HTML via a couple of xslt scripts. I want
to make the conversion trigger when the .html file is missing, or when
it is out-of-date compared to the .xml file or either of the .xslt
files. So, I have:
rule ".html" => [ ".cited-xml", HTML_XSL, LOCAL_HTML_XSL] do |t|
xslt("ppb2html.xsl", t.source, t.name)
end
This rebuilds if the .html is out of date wrt the xml file, but
ignores the timestamps on the two XSL files.
I guess my option is to synthesize file tasks for each of my possible
targets, but this is one of many rules, and I have many HTML files--
I'd end up with hundreds if not thousands of tasks doing this.
Am I missing something obvious?
Dave
