ports with bad plist when NO{DOCS,EXAMPLES,PORTDATA} defined

[Ion-Mihai Tetcu]

Hi,


If this problem is already fixed, please ignore this email.

Out ports infrastructure provides a set of variables to control the
installation of various types of documentation: NO_INSTALL_MANPAGES,
NOPORTDOCS, NOPORTEXAMPLES, NOPORTDATA. A description for each of them
can be found in ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk. They can be used to build
stripped-down packages from our ports, a useful feature for systems
where disk space is a premium (like embedded systems, etc.)

In theory, for any port built with a NO* var defined the corresponding
dirs and files shouldn't be installed. In practice we don't stress
this, but at minimum we require is that the plist is correct - and this
is what I tested. 
I will continue with the other categories, then I'll start testing for
NO_INSTALL_MANPAGES. I'm also setting up an semi-automated system to
test the ports as near to commit time as my available hardware permits.

I have just finished a test build of devel/* ports and their
dependencies on my amd64 tinderbox with:
 > m /usr/local/tinderbox/portstrees/FreeBSD/portstree.env
export FORCE_PACKAGE=yes
export NOPORTDOCS=yes
export NOPORTEXAMPLES=yes
export NOPORTDATA=yes

The relevant version details:
System  	FreeBSD 7 (RELENG_7)  	2008-05-09 23:13:31
Ports Tree 	FreeBSD ports tree 	2008-05-10 00:22:00

The build was done via:
        ./tc addPort -b ${_build} -r -d ${PORT} -o
        ./tinderbuild -noduds  -nullfs -plistcheck -b ${_build} ${PORT}


The following ports fail with 3 types of errors:
- they install docs, examples or data files or dirs when they shouldn't
because of above vars being defined and they don't list them in the
plist.
- they don't install some docs, examples or data files or dirs but they
list them in the plist.
- they confuse the meaning of one of the above NO* variables with an
other or with NO_INSTALL_MANPAGES

A common mistake seems to be the patting of portlint(1) by adding
%%PORTDOCS%% without checking if those files are installed or not.
Please try to make your port obey the NO* vars, not "fix" it by
installing those files unconditionally.

If you commit a fix please let me know; if you submit a PR to fix your
port please CC me on it and I'll commit it; also please let as know if
you intend to work on the unmaintained ports so that we don't duplicate
our efforts.
