PAGER=more portmaster...
I do this with mergemaster. Somehow someone decided that the behavior of less 
is the best and made it the default a while ago.


Probably this https://reviews.freebsd.org/D13465
Something about "the nineties", but no further rationale.

Onderwerp: Portmaster and less


When postmaster displays the package messages after installing, it calls less, 
which forces you to hit 'q' to exit, and when you quit less, it clear the 
buffer on the screen and returns you to the display of the compile process.

Is there anyway to change this behavior so that less is called with -E / 
--QUIT-AT_EOF? Or can I just tell postmaster to cat this files so they appear 
in my terminals scroll back no matter what?

(I think the discarding that text that is paged by less is a terminal emulator 
or tmux setting, but haven’t looked into that.)
