Bump. Please help. If Martin is the only one who understands the
makefile then we have a serious problem.

I understand the makefile. So I see you tried

make -f posix.mak apidocs-serve LATEST=2.070.2

Let's first try:

make -f posix.mak LATEST=2.070.2

Building the latest documentation in /path/to/dlang.org assumes you have /path/to/dmd, /path/to/druntime, and /path/to/phobos synced up. If they are out of sync, things won't work.

I was under the impression that it was trying to build the docs for my local Phobos with DMD 2.069, which of course won't work, but I must have misunderstood, because I don't think it does that.

Regarding the redundant download - I complained about that to Martin (particularly since we already have a different mechanism for loading specific versions of dmd/druntime/phobos) and he said to not worry about it, it's a small download. I mildly disagree with him, but there's only so many hours in the day. I'd welcome a PR to fix that.

It's more confusing than anything. It's hard to tell what goes wrong when building the docs builds like 6? big codebases.
