Mikhail Teterin <mi at FreeBSD.org> has reassigned Bugzilla Automation
<bugzilla at FreeBSD.org>'s request for maintainer-feedback to tcltk at FreeBSD.org:
Bug 197359: devel/critcl -- abolish DOCS-option, install man-pages instead
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=197359



--- Description ---
Upstream's tarball includes up-to-date man-pages. These should be installed --
unconditionally.

The generated HTML-documentation is largely redundant and not useful -- once
you reached for the browser, you may as well read the latest version online.

Not rebuilding the docs in this particular case is also useful for a different
reason: it removes the dependency on dtplite (from devel/tcllib), which will
allow tcllib depend on critcl instead and compile C-code included with tcllib
(see Bug 195863).
