Just hours ago I went to give sysutils/portmaster a try. An OPTIONS selection screen appeared on the first run. I then ran the following command, thinking I could leave portmaster going and wander off: portmaster -a -m "BATCH=yes" Again an OPTIONS dialog appeared. It seems that portmaster was running the command 'make BATCH=yes config', which is an interactive operation. I'm not sure whether this is incorrect behaviour from the 'config' target, or perhaps a deficiency in portmaster. I'm sure there are easy ways to work around the problem, but special cases are pesky. Perhaps there are other targets for which this behaviour would be unexpected. Thoughts?
