The following reply was made to PR ports/115684; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Martin Matuska <martin@matuska.org> To: Mikhail Teterin <mi+mill@aldan.algebra.com> Cc: bug-followup@freebsd.org Subject: Re: ports/115684: devel/tcllib add NO_INSTALL_MANPAGES Date: Tue, 21 Aug 2007 21:26:58 +0200 Well, it is the same reason NOPORTDOCS is being used - if a user requests a minimal install without documentation and without manpages, too. If you are installing FreeBSD, you may chose the Minimal Install and no manpages are installed. Unlike NOPORTDOCS this knob is optional, but I (and many other maintainers) include it in maintained ports. So it is up to your decision.
