-Subject: [PATCH] Forcefully disable docs build
-
-This currently affects the following statement in `src/Makefile.am`
-only:
-
-    if !DISABLE_DOCUMENTATION
-    all-local: lnav
-            if test -w $(srcdir)/internals; then \
-                    env DUMP_INTERNALS_DIR=$(srcdir)/internals DUMP_CRASH=1 ./lnav Makefile; \
-                    mv $(srcdir)/internals/*.schema.json $(top_srcdir)/docs/schemas; \
-            fi
-    endif
-
-We cannot do this (even on non-cross builds) since `lnav` requires e.g.
-`/etc/nsswitch.conf` and other impurities here.
