In other words, if I understand you correctly, you are saying that
actually you NEED to do a complete rebuild on copy (or more especially,
move)?
Because all the absolute paths in the output are no longer valid?
In which case, ycproject should not be worried about this, make is
working as designed, and "fixing" his project will actually break it ...

I have not read all the details, but the pickled environment contains
the full path to the project.
And at
https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/_modules/sphinx/environment.html
you can find the lines
def setup(self, app: Sphinx) -> None:
"""Set up BuildEnvironment object."""
if self.version and self.version !=
app.registry.get_envversion(app):
raise BuildEnvironmentError(__('build environment version
not current'))
if self.srcdir and self.srcdir != app.srcdir:
raise BuildEnvironmentError(__('source directory has
changed'))
This BuildEnvironment.setup() is called from sphinx.application:
(see https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/_modules/sphinx/application.html)
def _load_existing_env(self, filename: str) -> BuildEnvironment:
try:Facts
with progress_message(__('loading pickled environment')):
with open(filename, 'rb') as f:
env = pickle.load(f)
env.setup(self)
self._fresh_env_used = False
except Exception as err:
logger.info(__('failed: %s'), err)
env = self._create_fresh_env()
return env
The environment "env" loaded from the pickled file carries the absolute
path
to the former location. On the other hand the app.srcdir above contains
the
absolute path to the new location.
Hence after doing "cp -a originalproject copiedproject" one gets
on next build attempt in new directory:
loading pickled environment... failed
failed: source directory has changed
Also other files under _build/doctrees such as index.doctree contain
absolute paths
