Package: caspar
Version: 20200611-2

Dear maintainer(s)


The manual page of caspar is unaware of the build target.

<screenshot>
$ grep --context 4 build /usr/include/caspar/mk/caspar.mk | head -n 9
_csp_DIRS := $(shell for d in *; do test -d "$$d" && echo "$$d"; done)
_csp_DIRS := $(filter-out $(csp_TABOODIRS),$(_csp_DIRS))

all:
        $(MAKE) build
        $(MAKE) install
        $(MAKE) load

define _csp_filetargets
$
</screenshot>


I noticed the build target in
<screenshot>
$ make
make build
make[1]: Entering directory 'path/redacted'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for 'build'.
make[1]: Leaving directory 'path/redacted'
make install
make[1]: Entering directory 'path/redacted'
redacted command redacted parameters
... more "make output" ...
</screenshot>
and would like to use it. ( I have an use case for "build",
but don't know how to use it.)


Please document how to use the build target.

At http://mdcc.cx/pub/caspar/caspar-latest/doc/caspar.html as shipped with
caspar 20220907, which is shipped with Debian bookworm (stable), it says:

"Note: csp_BUILD is deprecated. You should not use it."

Therefore closing this bug.

Thanks anyway, and excuse me for not catching this in our earlier discussion.

Bye,

Joost
