Package: rubber
Version: 1.4-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
It is important (for me) to check that the document stack is updated without
unnecessaryly recompile.
In previous versions, when the modification time of the dependencies was in the
correct order,
rubber output "nothing to do for ...".
This feature seems lost ("running ps2pdf") and rubber seems to recompile
without necessity. See example below.
Thanks for your time.
