What I'm saying is that you should have -doc in /etc/make.conf and enable |
| 12 |
it on a per-package basis. The doc flag builds extra documentation that |
| 13 |
general users don't need, man/info/html pages are included by default (at |
| 14 |
least, that's how it is supposed to work, the odd package, like ffmpeg, |
| 15 |
won't even include a man page without the doc flag). |
