Hi,

Currently, rubber returns false if some processing failed, and true if
everything went fine. This is standard behaviour: not doing anything
because the output document is up to date is not a failure. I do think
it is the way it should be.

I admit that it might be useful in some situations to detect if some
processing was actually performed. However, I don't know of a standard
way for a command to return such information. It would be easy to add a
command-line switch so that false is returned when nothing was done, but
then how could one distinguish that from an actual failure?

Emmanuel
