The reference framework has PORTDOCS=3D* and define NOPORTDOCS in = post-install target. So, I mean by not use PORTDOCS (auto with/without = @comment in plist) for avoid plist broke if users use NOPORTDOCS when = remove NOPORTDOCS from post-install target. And don't use NOPORTDOCS in = = Makefile, so it will be always install. Also, I usually like to avoid us= e = PORTDOCS for I can add more lines in static plist. > On my desktop /usr/local/shre/docs is about 400MB. > I had to fit recently a pretty complex system on a small thingy.

The *-reference ports only install documents stuff, so it doesn't make a= ny = sense to provide NOPORTDOCS option support. If users install *-reference= = ports with NOPORTDOCS then these ports will be register with nothing stu= ff = installed. ;-) It's one of reason we provide *-reference slave ports. >> BTW/OT: I am against automatic dynamic pkg-plist: >> http://wiki.freebsd.org/PortsToDo#head-d39af25709360f5285b40c03255de7= 465fa717fa >> ..
