From 7726397841af9d676b5115992bf4fc34ff8a0c81 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pedram Ashofteh Ardakani Date: Wed, 13 Apr 2022 19:20:14 +0430 Subject: ./project: new --refresh-bib to force-build bibliography Until now, the bibliography was only re-built when 'tex/src/references.tex' was modified. This is useful in many regular cases because building the bibliography can slow down the build and it is in-efficient to built it in every edit of the text of the paper. However, it can be inconvenient when a change in the paper's bibliography is necessary, without actually editing 'references.tex' (for example when you are removing a citation from the text). This happens because Make is only sensitive to file modification time. In this case, Make does not see the need to create a new 'bib' file because the 'tex/src/reference' is not changed, and only the 'paper.tex' is changed. Make is totally 'blind' to the new 'citation' defined in 'paper.tex'. As a workaround, until now users were forced to manually change the 'tex/src/references.tex' file modification date: either by altering the content, or using the 'touch' command. With this commit, the '--refresh-bib' is added to './project' arguments to address this issue. It will just 'touch' the 'tex/src/references.tex' file before calling Make. In effect, this will 'force' Make to create the bibliography file, even if 'tex/src/references.tex' hasn't been updated. --- project | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/project b/project index 8a7712d..ba9e9ff 100755 --- a/project +++ b/project @@ -126,6 +126,7 @@ Make (analysis) options: -p, --prepare-redo Re-do preparation (only done automatically once).
