[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #48430] scripts/DOCSTRINGS nearly always rebuilt causing full doc build

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #48430 (project octave):

Both libinterp/DOCSTRINGS and scripts/DOCSTRINGS are rebuilt every time now,
instead of only if the contents change, and this forces a full rebuild of the
documentation.

Either


$ touch ../libinterp/corefcn/data.cc
$ make all


or 


$ touch ../scripts/time/now.m
$ make


cause the corresponding ../libinterp/DOCSTRINGS or ../scripts/DOCSTRINGS to be
rebuilt, without move-if-change, and so on.

The relevant changes on the default branch are

http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/627f582edbe3#l2.25
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/112b20240c87#l131.167

So this was tied to the move to build doc strings from the true source files,
rather than intermediate preprocessed files, but maybe an unintentional side
effect.
