From ed7ca948ae31ac0e1d3633a2f58fb3e4aecd03de Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Bremner <david@tethera.net> Date: Wed, 9 Dec 2020 21:55:38 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] build/docs: move docstring prereq to file targets Under a sufficiently high level of parallelism [1] there seems to be a a race condition that allows sphinx-build to start running before the docstrings are extracted. This change moves the docstring stamp from the phony targets sphinx-html and sphinx-info to the file targets that they depend on. I'm not sure why this makes things better, but I am fairly confident it does not make things worse, and experimentally it seems to eliminate the race condition.
