A few months ago there was a discussion about some ports having a single DOCS option while others didn't. This was considered inconsistent and there was a request for an official policy. Some people wanted the option while others didn't want to be bothered with such simple dialogs everywhere. The consensus that was eventually reached was to always add a DOCS option even if it's the only option (same for NLS and some others), but to allow users to set options in make.conf and let the dialog stay hidden if all options for a port are already defined. So, if you set DOCS in make.conf (e.g. OPTIONS_UNSET=3D DOCS) all dialogs where DOCS is the only option stay hidden. This way users who want to configure DOCS separately per port can do so and users who want to configure DOCS globally can do so as well. This works for all options by the way, not just DOCS. --Sig_/eySpeQ/c2s1WGc_iLH6PxjX Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.21 (FreeBSD) iF4EAREIAAYFAlJAZGMACgkQfoCS2CCgtiuR8QD9Hd8pLB9pA8Bb2niBABDiEjxe pwICZqxQCavLIgN8ucwA/A2ofXWyhXbc5cBoPqBkMJQ8Vj12zq/zW7gFWe0MhuSL =Na13 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/eySpeQ/c2s1WGc_iLH6PxjX--
