always-interactive ports
I wonder if we have any flag for always-interactive ports i.e. ports that prompt user for something regardless of all batch/interactivity options. One example is java/jdk* ports that prompt user for license acceptance. If we don't have such a flag, maybe we should add one. One use, for instance, is to skip such ports for portupgrade --batch. -- Andriy Gapon ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

From /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.ports.mk :
# IS_INTERACTIVE
# - Set this if your port needs to interact with the user
# during any step in a package build. User can then decide
# to skip this port by setting ${BATCH}, or compiling only
# the interactive ports by setting ${INTERACTIVE}.
# Default: not set.

From man ports: INTERACTIVE If defined, only operate on a port if it requires interaction. BATCH If defined, only operate on a port if it can be installed 100% automatically. That's from the building user's point of view. The easiest way to handle this in the port itself is to set IS_INTERACTIVE=yes in the port's Makefile, as documented in bsd.port.mk.
