Do you have any plans in the near future to implement a way for <end-user> to change the default questioning response from [y] to [n] ? This would be extremely helpful to those users in these circumstances at what seems not that much effort to do so. [y] makes sense when using (-a) where portmaster will only be upgrading what has upgrades available. [n] makes sense when doing most anything else I can think of since its interactive but should be chosen by the user. This is speaking strictly in the sense of: "===>>> Update portname-X.Y,Z? y/n [y]" And with the above list of ports I think I would rather hit [Return] 50 times than [n][Return] Thanks -- Regards, J.
