Here is a new page for 'Dos and don'ts' describing the problem encountered in PR/105868 related to auto-detections in a configure script. It explains why it is important for a porter to explicitly add --without- or --disable- options when a functionality is disabled. Fix: Patch attached with submission follows:
Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-doc->pav Take; the idea is good but I'd like to rewrite the wording first.
State Changed From-To: open->closed Good idea to talk about this. I took the liberty of rewriting the text, adding some examples. Also I have put it into the 5.11 Makefile Options section, where it belongs, instead of Dos and Don't section.
