The question remains:

let's say I have one directory and I want to copy all newly
changed files to another directory without using 'publish'...
attributes (or however), but rather with using a system command.

How could I do that?

when 

------------------------------------------
all : file1 file2 file3
      @for item in source_list:
          :system cp $source targetdir/
------------------------------------------


does not work because there are no 'dependences between files,
or however? (the recipe above always copies the files, doesn't
matter if changed or not)

Thanks a lot for any hint
