What would be needed then Robert, is some means of tracking changes so that any changed pages would still get rebuilt, else things can get stale. This sort of stale docs stuff can sneak up on us all too easily. That gets us into the realm of "delta rpms" which came under discussion quite some time back over in the rpm camps, but as a concept it doesn't seem to have gained enough traction to have been implemented. Overworked packagers dragging feet etc. I left that camp when I left pclos, so I have no clue if that version of rpm has been beat into submission to do what its touted to do or not. However, I am waiting with baited breath, to be able to test your work in an update-manager installed LinuxCNC. And I sure do thank you for your efforts in LinuxCNC.
