Well, for the ports that take make variables, you can edit
/usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf and specify the ones you want to set. For
example, here is an excerpt from mine:
MAKE_ARGS = {
'net/cvsup*' => 'WITHOUT_X11=yes',
'net/samba*' => 'WITHOUT_CUPS=yes',
'net/ethereal' => 'WITHOUT_SNMP=yes',
'databases/postgresql7' => 'WITHOUT_SERVER=yes',
}
and if you have some that you really need to do manually (if you have your
own custom patches to apply for example), you can tell portupgrade to not
touch them and let you take care of them:
HOLD_PKGS = [
'bsdpan-*',
'editors/staroffice60',
'security/krb5',
'security/pam_krb5',
'emulators/linux*',
'net/vnc',
]
Unfortunately, this doesn't work for the ones such as postfix or ghostscript
that have the "user-friendly" menu of options which the thread was about.
You can use BATCH=yes to keep the menu from coming up, but then it assumes a
default set of options which there is often no way to override. It would be
nice (and probably not too hard to change) if these could be set using make
variables for batch builds...
