Hi, I have question do we really need to build *doc packages every time or we can download prebuilded documentation for stable ports? There's two versions of documentation distributed separately for most ports: "doc-source" and "doc-builded". And there's very few situations when we really need build documentation from scratch. Otherwise we can download prepackaged versions from distribution site. For example, I don't need TeX or docbook distribution on my server to read the documentation I can download directly if I don't really want to build it.
