makeinfo does not update timestamps of directories:
% ls -dltr maintain.{texi,html} nostromo 15:12
drwxr-xr-x 2 akim lrde 4096 2004-05-25 14:38 maintain.html/
-rw-r--r-- 1 akim lrde 16132 2004-05-25 15:01 maintain.texi
% LC_ALL=C /bin/sh /home/akim/lectures/maintain/config/missing --run makeinfo --html
--enable-encoding --number-sections --fill-column=76 -I . \
> -o maintain.html maintain.texi
% ls -dltr maintain.{texi,html}
drwxr-xr-x 2 akim lrde 4096 2004-05-25 14:38 maintain.html/
-rw-r--r-- 1 akim lrde 16132 2004-05-25 15:01 maintain.texi
which keeps this rule unsatisfied:
.texi.html:
$(MAKEINFOHTML) $(AM_MAKEINFOHTMLFLAGS) $(MAKEINFOFLAGS) -I $(srcdir) \
-o $@ $<
if test ! -d $@ && test -d $(@:.html=); then \
mv $(@:.html=) $@; else :; fi
This can cause bad problems when trying to install under a different
identity:
% sudo -u doc make install nostromo 15:06
LC_ALL=C /bin/sh /home/akim/lectures/maintain/config/missing --run makeinfo --html
--enable-encoding --number-sections --fill-column=76 -I . \
-o maintain.html maintain.texi
/home/akim/lectures/maintain/maintain.html/index.html: Permission denied
make: *** [maintain.html] Erreur 1
so I suggest the following change:
Index: ChangeLog
from Akim Demaille <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* lib/am/texibuild.am (.texi.html): Touch the output to update its
timestamp, which is not performed by makeinfo when producing a
directory.
