I think, most of us don't test it until pointyhat complain it. ;-) It's
:-D
very rare for *-reference ports to change with PORTDOCS=* unless they
added something like sometime ago doxygen/devhelp were added in
glibmm-reference and we got pointyhat error log for that. Well, also got
your error log for different case in same port.
If I modify or rewrite reference framework, I would use static plist
instead of PORTDOCS=* and remove NOPORTDOCS option. It means that we
will
have to test *-reference ports' plist at the each update. I don't know
if
my team will like it, so I will have to ask if I am going to touch
reference framework (don't have time for that right now).
Not using PORTDOCS and not supporting NOPORTDOCS are different things,
no?
The reference framework has PORTDOCS=* and define NOPORTDOCS in
post-install target. So, I mean by not use PORTDOCS (auto with/without
@comment in plist) for avoid plist broke if users use NOPORTDOCS when
remove NOPORTDOCS from post-install target. And don't use NOPORTDOCS in
Makefile, so it will be always install. Also, I usually like to avoid use
PORTDOCS for I can add more lines in static plist.
On my desktop /usr/local/shre/docs is about 400MB.
I had to fit recently a pretty complex system on a small thingy. Had to
go in and remove a lot of things by hand o have place for the base
system and the port plus for some data.
The *-reference ports only install documents stuff, so it doesn't make any
sense to provide NOPORTDOCS option support. If users install *-reference
ports with NOPORTDOCS then these ports will be register with nothing stuff
installed. ;-) It's one of reason we provide *-reference slave ports.
BTW/OT: I am against automatic dynamic pkg-plist:
http://wiki.freebsd.org/PortsToDo#head-d39af25709360f5285b40c03255de7465fa717fa
.. I perfer static plist, I use it awful a lot in offline. I wouldn't
have
done share/gnome/ -> share/ quick without that static plist. Also it
helps
a lot to notice if file(s) install in the wrong place. I use it a lot to
know which file/directory come from port.
Yeh, I'm all in favor of having all files listed in pkg-plist.
Good!
Cheers,
Mezz
