I'm afraid this behavior (bogus unwanted building of manual) should be properly fixed, instead of forcing users to pollute their systems with tons of essentially useless stuff. (I recall the similar problem with mail/mutt and audio/jack, when one had to explicitly disable building of documentation to avoid pulling crap like sgmlformat or doxygen.) > I'm happy we don't have a plist error anymore, bu maybe you can find a > way to patch this?

Exactly. Carefully selected dependencies is one of the great things about our Ports, and we should not lower the bar here. Of course documentation is nice thing to have, but not at the cost of half dozen of weird packages I will not be able to recall what they are for and how the hell did they end up on my system in the first place. Plus I believe many find it easier to point their browser to WWW: page instead of digging the docs from the filesystem. ./danfe
