Haven't been to Macau...but there's lots of jade in Hong Kong too. :-)

openjade is a descendent of jade (I don't think jade is being developed
anymore). For some reason, jade has some problems running on the Alpha.
I asked nik once why we don't just use openjade for everything...I think
the answer was that there were some issues with languages using
multi-byte characters. Personally, I run openjade on most of my i386
boxes (it's an option for that architecture).
(These things are SGML parsers, BTW. That's about the extent of my
knowledge.)

[...time passes...report of apparent success...]
Yay! OK, I'll commit this "soon" (kind of brain-dead right now, don't
trust myself to do commits properly). If you get to it first, that's
fine too.

No...I just meant building the ports tree itself, not all of the
packages. In other words, if you don't set "NOPORTS=YES", a complete
ports tree gets checked out and tarred up for the distribution. The
docproj ports get built out out of this ports tree, so the definition
of ${MINIMALDOCPORTS} is moot. If you set "NOPORTS=YES", then only the
ports in ${MINIMALDOCPORTS} get checked out of the repo, and that's
where you (we?) got bitten.
Bruce.
