In org-publish-projects, it would be good if the preparation-function is
executed before getting base files using org-publish-get-base-files.

In one of my use cases, my preparation-function generates some source
files which are then to be published by the publishing-function. But,
since the base filenames are collected before the preparation-function
is executed, the publishing-function does not see the generated source
files.

Right now, I'm calling my preparation-function manually before calling
org-publish-project, but it would be nice if I didn't have to do it this
way.

Thanks,
Arun Isaac.

I'm not sure of the actual order of execution but it could be that one
or other of the org-export-before-{processing,parsing}-hook hooks could
do what you want?

org-export-before-{processing,parsing} hooks are only useful when I have
existing source files and I want to modify them in some way before I
{process,parse} them. In my case, the source files don't exist at all,
before my preparation-function is run.

Regarding the preparation-function, the use case described in the manual
is for running make to update files before publishing.

http://orgmode.org/manual/Sources-and-destinations.html

Therefore, I think it makes sense only if the source filenames are collected
using org-publish-get-base-files after the preparation-function is run.

With the above logic, maybe the order of execution can actually be
considered a bug?

I made the change in master. Thank you.

I think a bug has been introduced by your change.

In org-publish-projects, the variable project-plist is accessed (to get
the preparation-function) before it is bound. So, I am getting a
(void-variable project-plist) error.

Oops. Fixed. Thank you.
