My recommendation was to pregenerate the man pages. The issue is that doc-utils is used for it. The impact is that any program that needs gtk30 pulls in a 1.8G tarball. This is a REAL issue. There should be conscious effort to disable anything that pulls in texlive by default. Or something that has to be OPT in for freebsd cluster. This is not a case of "somebody will always complain", it's an issue that the policy is bad. The 1.8G texlive is a major issue with no resolution in sight. So either leave MANPAGES off by default, or pregenerate them and install from a second tar ball. > BTW, I started using your default options removal script, I got bitten by > it removing the options for multimedia/libdvdread because I had added the > DVDCSS option that is not the default when PACKAGE_BUILDING... :-) Yes, that's the danger with these cute ports that have options list that change dynamically. I'm not sure what can be done about that except to discourage the practice. John
