It seems like I don't get my own postings, so I repy to this one again. Judging from the subject, I take it that this is the list to ask questions about the
making of the docs? Or is there another list for that?

I'd say this list is fine. There's only the dev and the users list.

I'm just curious about tha last line in the Makefiles :

include ../../base/Mk/dports.autoconf.mk

I don't have it.

minimac: bnl$ locate dports.autoconf.mk
/opt/local/var/db/dports/sources/ rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate1/base/Mk/dports.autoconf.mk.in

What do I install to get it?
(Tried autoconf, but taht got me Perl 5.8 amongst other things instead ;-) But I think I need it anyway)

Running 'make all' with that line commented out runs fine,
except for 'tidy' warnings.

If you just checked out the doc directory, then yes, you don't have it, because as you see it goes up a level into the base directory. To get it, check out the directory above doc -- the trunk itself -- which will get you doc and base -- and more. If you don't want the more, you can use:

svn checkout -N http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/trunk/
cd trunk
svn up doc base

Even then, you won't have dports.autoconf.mk; you'll only have dports.autoconf.mk.in. To get dports.autoconf.mk, ./configure and possibly make in base.

So what is that file intended to do?

That I don't know.
