Is there way to specify a dependence on a directory?
directory: somefile
some_command
If any file in 'directory' is older than 'somefile', then I want to
run 'some_command'. I'm wondering how to do this.
The timestamps of directories get updated when you add or remove files
in them. When you change existing files the directory timestamp does not
get updated. Just update it manually after some files were changed in
the directory, so that the directory timestamp is no older than those of
the files in it:
directory: somefile
some_command
touch directory
