Duplicate #37149 has a [attachment:ticket:37149:Portfile.diff different patch] which increases the revision, sets HASDOCBOOK=no and changes the docbook version number in two fontconfig sgml files. I'd like to avoid having fontconfig do different things depending on whether docbook (or other ports) are installed; ports should always do the same thing. So either we should disable the use of docbook entirely, or we should always be using it. I'm not sure which is better, but I'm inclined to disable the use of docbook as suggested [comment:2 above] since I don't know what advantage using docbook would be for fontconfig. The patch in #37149 does exactly that: it disables rebuilding the docbook- based documentation using an existing feature in the fontconfig configure script. The fontconfig tarball contains pre-built documentation and the installation falls back to using that, which is the behavior one sees when docbook-utils is not installed. The additional small patch to the sgml documentation sources just prepares those for document generation if and when the docbook support packages are more completely ported from Fedora.
