Dear port maintainers,

it seems that especially java ports install a lot of dynamically generated 
documentation. If your port installs documentation into ${DOCSDIR}, it might 
be easier to use

.if !defined(NOPORTDOCS)
PORTDOCS=	*
.endif

in your ports Makefile than to maintain a possibly large and changing packing 
list. The marco was recently added to bsd.port.mk, and can be defined to a 
list of files and directories relative to ${DOCSDIR}. Shell glob patterns may 
be used and directories include the entire subtree of contained files and 
directories.


Regards
    Oliver
