I do not believe this is true. It still isn't clear why updates to that directory were not being remade automatically. In fact, I believe that was a one time problem. Running 'make' in english/ports/powerpc right now gives: $ make make[1]: Entering directory `/debian2/web/webwml/english/ports/powerpc/install' make[1]: Leaving directory `/debian2/web/webwml/english/ports/powerpc/install' make[1]: Entering directory `/debian2/web/webwml/english/ports/powerpc/pics' make[1]: Leaving directory `/debian2/web/webwml/english/ports/powerpc/pics so the subdirs are being checked even if nothing changes. -- James (Jay) Treacy [EMAIL PROTECTED]
