Feature Request: A small change would make doxygen fit for incremental SVN updates

[Thomas T.-2]

Hello,

We are using doxygen quite successfully in our project, thanks for a
great tool!

I have a little feature request that could probably be implemented
almost instantly. We need to store the doxygen HTML output in a
Subversion repository, since users do not want to create the
documentation for themselves and we distribute the code via SVN, so we
check the HTML files produced by doxygen into the SVN repository. I know
SVN is not a conventional place to put documentation, but in our project
it is the only convenient way to keep it updated.

However, doxygen even for unchanged pages produces new files that are
not identical in content (mainly the footer), so each time the
documentation needs to be reproduced, the whole documentation is
uploaded to the SVN server. So my request is to make an option to
disable these "Generated on <date> <tim> for <project> by <doxygen
version>" footers from the files so they do no longer differ in content
and Subversion will recognize them as same.

That would really be a relief!

Thanks,
Thomas

I second the request.  I have a nightly job that regenerates the documentation for a pretty big tool, it takes the better part of 4-6 hours when done from scratch.  I would check-in the files to our perforce depot to make them available via p4web, if they didn't generate gabillions of changed files "for no reason".

Perhaps your looking for HTML_HEADER and HTML_FOOTER?
