It doesn't just build the docs. It makes the dist snapshots too. And the
old script often broke badly, IIRC. The current setup doesn't install
anything if the build fails, which is a distinct improvement. And you
can see the causes of any failure via the buildfarm logs.
But I don't really have any stake in this, I just created a tiny Module
to help Magnus do what he wanted.
In answer to Alvaro's question, you can disable most steps via a command
line switch --skip-steps, the value of which is a space separated list
of names. I haven't documented it mainly because it was really developed
for use in development. The allowed values are:
install
make
make-doc
install
make-contrib
install
install-check
contrib-install-check
pl-install-check
isolation-check
check
ecpg-check
