Hi,
Can DOCS include MANPAGES?
I'd like to build my ports with just manpages and examples.
Does disabling DOCS globally also clobber ports manpages?
I'm not a portmgr, so this is all my humble opinion:
Ideally we should strive to separate DOCS and MANPAGES. But sometimes
the software's buildsystem has a single "docs" switch that controls
both manpages and html/pdf/etc. generation. In this case I don't go as
far as decoupling DOCS and MANPAGES and stick with only DOCS.
However granularity comes at a cost (time and testing) and it makes
little sense to add options if there's no support upstream.
