Makefile prerequisites for Etch Release Notes

Hi Frank,

I noticed missing build prerequisites for
http://www.debian.org/releases/etch/releasenotes. The natural way to fix
this is to synchronize with Sarge's files.

Analysing these I found that you added 17 months ago (revision 1.7)
release-notes files as prerequisites for releasenotes.*.html in
webwml/english/releases/sarge/Makefile
(http://cvs.debian.org/webwml/english/releases/sarge/Makefile?rev=1.8&root=webwml&view=log)

Log: Add release-notes files as prerequisites for releasenotes.*.html
Patch:
releasenotes.$(LANGUAGE).html: releasenotes.wml $(TEMPLDIR)/release.wml \
- $(ENGLISHDIR)/releases/sarge/release.data $(ENGLISHDIR)/releases/info
+ $(ENGLISHDIR)/releases/sarge/release.data $(ENGLISHDIR)/releases/info \
+ $(wildcard $(HTMLDIR)/*/release-notes*)

Can you please explain this? Does it mean that this page is rebuild
everytime a file in release-notes.<lang>.html/ changes (once a typo is
fixed, ...)?

Since http://www.us.debian.org/releases/sarge/releasenotes just provides
a table of available architectures/languages (which is extracted from
release.data) this page does not depend on the content of the various
Release Notes, right?

Jens

While release.data provides a list of available languages, the code
for the index pages only displays languages which files are actually
there. The prerequisuites ensure that the releasenotes page is
automatically updated if a new language is added.

Gruesse,
