Re: [Orgmode] Org-mode version 6.30trans (release_6.30d.5.gc125); make fails on org-ascii.el

On "How do I keep current with Org mode development?"

http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.php#keeping-current-with-Org-mode-development

it is suggested the following commands

git pull && make clean && make && make doc && make install

I've put together with a command which updaes a bunch of svn repositories from my students.

The problem is: make clean before make FORCES recompiling the same files again and not only the updated files!

As org-mode is updated very often and the the compiling process is a bit slow and always annoying
I decide to change the comand to 

git pull & && make  && make install
I dropped make doc because it seems that there is som problem with texinfo files of these new version.



The problem of omitting make clean isthat: if a file disappears its compiled maybe will not disappear and cause problems.

Therefore I repeat Sebastien request:

Shouldn't a simple `make' do everything needed to succeed?

Trying to `make' org-mode fails with the following error message:

Opening the org-mode/lisp/ directory in dired and marking all *.el files
(`% m el$ RET) and byte-compiling them (`B') works for
org-ascii.el.
There it just failes for org-xoxo.el for the same reason.

sh$ make clean
sh$ make

does the trick...


Or even (if not clean):

sh$ make autoloads
sh$ make


I think we can live with it, as this is not unusual at all.

On the other hand: Shouldn't a simple `make' do everything needed to succeed?

In principle I would agree, and if you download a zip or tar distribution,
it works just like that.  However, in the git distro, you do
create new files which stick around when you update.

Of course we could add a "make clean" to the ALL target, but it seems to me
that this is different from other uses of make.  Maybe the make update should contain it?
