Comment (by lockhart@…):

 Replying to [comment:3 ryandesign@…]:
 > 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.
