IIRC you get the ports tree skeleton plus the readmes are built. You also get a copy of all the files in DOCDISTFILES. This can be quite large <bg>. No files are fetched. What you can do is change DOCDISTFILES to point to an empty directory. _Unless_ of course you want the DOC distribution as well. This will break on an empty DOCDISTFILES directory. Files will be fetched but by default they drop into /usr/ports/distfiles not the empty directory. In any case you are already chrooted to the release build directory. You could maybe fix this. Last time I had nothing better to do I did this. edit Makefile: DOCDISTFILES=/usr/empty_directory. make release go to bed. Build fails. Fetch the required file, and put it in empty_directory. make -DRELEASENOUPDATE rerelease Repeat last two steps. As a head start you could find the required files for /usr/ports/textproc/docproj and its depends. Last time I tried this (pre 4.2R) something was broken, so I did without DOC or PORTS. > > Maybe other FreeBSD gurus can help me?
