Agreed. How complicated is it to implement your suggestions (listed in
bug 86)? If it is something you expect to implement in the near future
then I can only say "great"!
Otherwise, allowing a rule to query the set of changed dependencies
would seem an adequate short-term fix. Of course, I am assuming that
1) implementing a $(changed ...) function is straightforward
2) a reasonable latex builder can be written in terms of it
3) such a function is not too offensive to the authors of omake --
after all, it might encourage unreproducible builds
Thanks,
Luis
