I'll use this. However, someone who knows about this probably know how to manually configure their system already. I want to make sure first timers and newbies don't miss important messages on how to configure the system. Often we get inquires about stuff that is clearly described in the pkg message and bug reports that are a consequence of wrong configuration. How can we make this more clear so that it is not missed?
ports-mgmt/portmaster used (probably still does) to concatenate the list of (port emitted) messages, and dump them to the console/screen when the build/install session completed. Perhaps pkg(8) could incorporate this, as well? --Chris
