I don't really understand why meson compile complains in this case. I assume
you don't want to disambiguate as suggested, by building html:alias instead?
I've done that as a temporary fix to get crake out of the hole, but it's
pretty ugly, and I don't want to do it in a release if at all possible.
Our documentation says specifically that "ninja html" will build the
HTML format. I would expect that to work by analogy with the "make"
target; having to spell it differently seems like clearly a bug.
"ninja html" does in fact work. What's not working is "meson compile
html". And it looks like the reason I used that in the buildfarm code is
that ninja doesn't know about other targets like "postgres-US.pdf". Up
to now "meson compile postgres-US.pdf html" has worked.
FWIW, the buildfarm code doesn't use ninja explicitly anywhere else.
