Rubber Duck - Makefile

Gilhad > I send last prompt incomplete by mistake.

• If I say input/*.rst it means all files in and under directory input, which ends in .rst (like input/file1.rst, input/dir_5/file_7.rst and such)
• If I say input/%.rst it means just one particular file in or under directory input, which ends in .rst (like input/dir_5/file_7.rst) and if I mention another file with % in connection with the file, then it means file, where the % stands for the same string/filepath like output/%.html would be output/dir_5/file_7.html
• if I say, that something create tags/*.tag it means it creates some files in that format, but not necessary all of them
• if I say prog1 reads input/%.rst and writes output/%.html and create tags/*.tag that also means, that output/%.html depends on input/%.rst and that tags/*.tag also depends on input/%.rst
• Now please clear all existing bullet lists here and put there only what I will write, not what could be deducted from it and some common concets. And use the format with * and % in it, as I will write it, do not translate that to examples or values.

I need you to just collect and sort my writing, not to suggest anything

So:

• compile_rst.py reads input/%.rst, writes build/%.html and create build/.tags/*.tag appending the %.rst and %.html into it, it does the same with build/.authors/*.author
• compile_tag.py reads build/.tags/%.tag and create/update input/.tags/%.rst - if the file does not exist, it is creaded in default form, if it exist and contains some tags_here section, then the content of the section is replaced with reformated conntent of build/.tags/%.tag
• compile_author.py reads build/.authors/%.author and create/update input/.authors/%.rst - if the file does not exist, it is creaded in default form, if it exist and contains some authors_here section, then the content of the section is replaced with reformated conntent of build/.authors/%.author
• build/.tags/.navigation.nav depends just on names of all build/.tags/*.tag and is used to create global nav-bar with all tag names - it is updated only if it differs
• output/%.html depends on build/%.html and build/.tags/.navigation.nav
• output/.tags/all_tags.html depends also on names from build/.tags/*.tag
• output/.authors/all_authors.html depends also on names from build/.authors/*.author

chatGPT > Sure, here you go:

• compile_rst.py reads input/%.rst, writes build/%.html and creates build/.tags/.tag appending the %.rst and %.html into it, it does the same with build/.authors/.author
• compile_tag.py reads build/.tags/%.tag and creates/updates input/.tags/%.rst - if the file does not exist, it is created in the default form, if it exists and contains some tags_here section, then the content of the section is replaced with reformatted content of build/.tags/%.tag

• build/.tags/.navigation.nav depends just on names of all build/.tags/*.tag and is used to create global nav-bar with all tag names - it is updated only if it differs
• output/%.html depends on build/%.html and build/.tags/.navigation.nav
• output/.tags/all_tags.html depends also on names from build/.tags/*.tag
• output/.authors/all_authors.html depends also on names from build/.authors/*.author

Gilhad > ok, now analyse the bullet list and make another bullet list, named dependencies, based on the analyse

chatGPT > Based on the provided bullet list, the following is the dependencies among different files and programs:

• compile_rst.py depends on all input/*.rst files
• compile_rst.py generates all build/%.html files and all build/.tags/.tag and build/.authors/.author files
• compile_tag.py depends on all build/.tags/*.tag files
• compile_tag.py generates or updates all input/.tags/%.rst files
• compile_author.py depends on all build/.authors/*.author files
• compile_author.py generates or updates all input/.authors/%.rst files
• build/.tags/.navigation.nav depends on all build/.tags/*.tag files
• output/%.html depends on the corresponding build/%.html file and build/.tags/.navigation.nav file
• output/.tags/all_tags.html depends on all build/.tags/*.tag files
• output/.authors/all_authors.html depends on all build/.authors/*.author files
• The generation of any file in the build directory depends on the existence and contents of the corresponding file in the input directory

Note that these dependencies are based solely on the provided bullet list and may not capture all possible dependencies or interactions between the different files and programs.
