It should be no problem to change this, building html (& pdf, odf) without updating anything. For example, we can use make's conditional feature and change Makefiles so that make [-f Makefile.GNU] html-xx builds the manual without updating xml and/or po, make [-f Makefile.GNU] html-xx UPDATE=all (or: RELEASE=yes) build manual with updating everything (current behaviour). (Any better ideas are always welcome...) But note that we lose a powerful make feature: updating exactly what has to be updated. Obviously updating po files automatically is a double-edged sword, but without that feature working will be less comfortable. BTW, other targets are affected as well, e.g. "make validate-xx" will also update po and xml files if necessary. So we probably would have to do everything manually: make po-xx, make po/xx/path/to/pofile.po, etc. Our next major task will be to merge po files (e.g. one po file per directory). This won't solve anything, but should reduce the noise. Bye, Ulf
