I'm porting some software that has a build dependency on docbook2man in order to generate its manpages from .docbook files. Testing the port in tinderbox takes a long time, most of it because of the need to build the docbook infrastructure. It seems a shame to use all that CPU time and install all those packages just to get ready to convert some manpages. What's the preferred approach in cases like this? Should I keep the build dependency on docbook2man et al, or should I put pregenerated copies of the manpages in the files directory of the port?
