echo "OPTIONS_UNSET+= DOCS" >> /etc/make.conf echo "NO_DIALOG=yes" >> /etc/make.conf having NOPORTSDOC and NOPORTEXAMPLES, KNOBS and OPTIONS has been a constant demand by lots of users that is why I wrote it that way and merged NOPORTDOCS and NOPORTEXAMPLES and WITHOUT_NLS btw to optionsng, I may be wrong, if that is the case please speak loudly, saying why, what would be best what do you expect. Keep in mind that currently lots of ports already define OPTIONS only concerning documentation, also note that some DOCS might bring some heavy depencies like doxygen. Last but not least, by chance (for once I'm happy with chance :)) you do not have to add DOCS or EXAMPLES to OPTIONS_DEFINE to be able to use them in your ports! So you can use it just like NOPORTDOCS and NOPORTEXAMPLES use to work. IE without and make config needed. that mean a single way to define/check for it but 2 different kind of options. Not sure this mail is clear :) regards, Bapt
