If you want to force a complete compile, then I recommend removing the build directory entirely and starting from scratch. This is very easy with an out-of-tree build. > What does GUB do to make a release?

It is a private server which Reinhold graciously makes available. Compiling the docs from scratch requires a fair amount of resources, ranging from CPU power to disk life (by using read/writes) to electricity. I agree that any official "daily snapshot" should build from scratch. But I don't think it's worth the resources it would take. A daily doc build was fantastic during GDP, but these days the docs don't change all that rapidly, and all doc contributors can build the docs themselves (mostly with lilybuntu).
