Re: gEDA-user: PCB build changes

[Peter Clifton <pcjc2@xxxxxxxxx>]

Doesn't having maintainer mode options present, but switched off -
effect the automatic generation of build dependencies for C files etc..?
(This is a vague memory, but not one I've had chance to verify).

This commit:

commit 8dbe3eb93d3281d4f0e496f68d4ba7f20e78b43b
Author: Dan McMahill <dan@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

    When building from git sources and building docs, force maintainer-mode.
    
    When building from git sources, maintainer mode is required to build
    the manual.  So, unless the user has specified --disable-doc then
    force maintainer mode.  When building from a tarball, the preformatted
    manual is already contained and we do not impose maintainer-mode.
    Hopefully this puts to rest the documentation building issues once
    and for all!


Tying --disable-doc to the disabling of maintainer mode is a bit "magic"
for my liking - especially if maintainer mode has other side-effects.

Any autofoo knowledgeable person care to elaborate on the side-effects
of maintainer-mode?
