For some time now, that page has failed to update if the underlying
build fails, which makes it approximately completely useless. A more
cosmetic but still annoying problem is that the build completion time
isn't shown correctly. For example, the current contents of the page
are

even though somebody committed broken markup half an hour ago.

I have fixed that commit.

Iirc, that's built by one of Peter's scripts.

hmm - maybe we should monitor as part of the main monitoring
infrastructure just like we monitor the snapshot builds...
However if the docs failed to build for a while I wonder why the
snapshots are still getting done...

I think the job is running when it's supposed to, it's just failing to
update the output page when it fails. The page updates PDQ when the
docs build is OK.

Peter, I think I can fix the script if you would tell me how to update
it. The code is based on a shell script I originally wrote.

I think both of these issues (certainly the latter) are fixed now.

Btw., the code and working space for this job are at ~petere/PGDOC/ on
developer.postgresql.org. Anyone with a shell account can peek around
there.
