Description Tim-Philipp Müller 2010-07-02 09:02:56 UTC 
After recent changes to the plugin docs setup (to fix make distcheck), the introspection info is updated automatically even in the course of a  normal build.

This shouldn't happen.

I don't know why we have complicated stamp-based rules for that anyway. I'd be perfectly fine with a setup where the introspection info is updated only manually (we can hooks to make dist to warn if it's not up-to-date if needed).

This is still a problem and quite annoying. Other people get this too.

I am very sorry. How could I go on vacation without fixing this.

I think I know the reason and I am working on a fix.

Heh, how would I know when you're on vacation or not. I was just bumping this because releases are coming up and someone mentioned it again. Also, you've been commenting on other bugs in the last few days.

In any case, I think it's perfectly fine to only do scanning/introspecting when a manual 'make update' is done in docs/plugins, don't know if all that .stamp business is needed.

    scanobj: only update inspect files when we run in update mode
    
    Check the stamp file to avoid rewriting all inspect files and rescanning.
    Fixes #623356


I don't like that the gstdoc-scan object now checks for the stamp file. But if that fixes it I'll try a more elegant solution (like adding a command-line parameter).
