While recursing through the dependencies, if a port is marked IS_INTERAC-
TIVE this will be flagged. In the absence of this notification, under
normal circumstances the only user interaction required after the port
starts building is to answer questions about the deletion of stale dist-
files. This can be eliminated with the -d or -D options.
Maybe this helps to avoid that interaction in the future.
If you want to continuously update your installed ports, you
don't need to rely on the ~/installed-port-list file anymore,
especially as portmaster can automatically determine which
ports need to be worked on (portmaster -a). It's also a nice
feature to put the "non-interactivity options" into a config
file (/usr/local/etc/portmaster.rc) so you really only need
the -a option if you want to start an update run.
