I read the porter's handbook and then began by looking at similar ports that already existed in the ports collection (e.g. archivers/hs-zlib) to get a basic idea of what the port should look like. I noticed that the only documentation listed in pkg-plist of these ports is the LICENSE file. So pkg-plist looks something like this: ... other files.. %%PORTDOCS%%%%DOCSDIR%%/LICENSE %%PORTDOCS%%@dirrm %%DOCSDIR%% ... @exec/@unexec... However, when you install the port (assuming NOPORTDOCS is not set), a HTML documentation will also be generated by the Haskell compiler and put into %%PORTDOCS%%%%DOCSDIR%%/html/*. So my question is, is it ok to omit these html files in the pkg-plist? I thought, you should list those too... regards, David -- GRATIS für alle GMX-Mitglieder: Die maxdome Movie-FLAT!
