For directories, however, compilations happens if the destination file already exists *and* it is older than the source file; NOFORCE is ignored. This behavior is not documented, and I find it quite unintuitive. Please change the behavior for directories to match the behavior for files.

Yes, that's pretty odd behaviour, but I don't think it makes sense to change it now -- it's been like this for decades. Instead I've now just explained what it does in the doc string in Emacs 27. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no From debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org Thu Aug 01 17:17:46 2019 Received: (at control) by debbugs.gnu.org; 1 Aug 2019 21:17:46 +0000 Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1]:55514 helo=debbugs.gnu.org) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.84_2) (envelope-from ) id 1htISI-0007db-Ja for submit@debbugs.gnu.org; Thu, 01 Aug 2019 17:17:46 -0400 Received: from quimby.gnus.org ([80.91.231.51]:46662) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.84_2) (envelope-from ) id 1htISG-0007dL-Is for control@debbugs.gnu.org; Thu, 01 Aug 2019 17:17:44 -0400 Received: from 77.18.62.220.tmi.telenormobil.no ([77.18.62.220] helo=sandy) by quimby.gnus.org with esmtpsa (TLS1.2:ECDHE_RSA_AES_256_GCM_SHA384:256) (Exim 4.89) (envelope-from ) id 1htISD-000407-Vx for control@debbugs.gnu.org; Thu, 01 Aug 2019 23:17:44 +0200 Date: Thu, 01 Aug 2019 23:17:41 +0200 Message-Id: <87zhksbn62.fsf@mouse.gnus.org> To: control@debbugs.gnu.org From: Lars Ingebrigtsen Subject: control message for bug #20867 X-Spam-Report: Spam detection software, running on the system "quimby.gnus.org", has NOT identified this incoming email as spam.
