I think, most of us don't test it until pointyhat complain it. ;-) It's = = very rare for *-reference ports to change with PORTDOCS=3D* unless they = = added something like sometime ago doxygen/devhelp were added in = glibmm-reference and we got pointyhat error log for that. Well, also got= = your error log for different case in same port. If I modify or rewrite reference framework, I would use static plist = instead of PORTDOCS=3D* and remove NOPORTDOCS option. It means that we w= ill = have to test *-reference ports' plist at the each update. I don't know i= f = my team will like it, so I will have to ask if I am going to touch = reference framework (don't have time for that right now). BTW/OT: I am against automatic dynamic pkg-plist: = http://wiki.freebsd.org/PortsToDo#head-d39af25709360f5285b40c03255de7465= fa717fa = .. I perfer static plist, I use it awful a lot in offline. I wouldn't ha= ve = done share/gnome/ -> share/ quick without that static plist. Also it hel= ps = a lot to notice if file(s) install in the wrong place. I use it a lot to= = know which file/directory come from port. Cheers, Mezz -- = mezz7@cox.net - mezz@FreeBSD.org FreeBSD GNOME Team http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/ - gnome@FreeBSD.org
