Hi, I run "/usr/local/sbin/portupgrade -arR" in cron job to update packages. Today I found the CPU is drained up by 5 instances of "script" and "dialog", because everyday when portupgrade updates python, it tried to display a menu in text mode and ask for a few options (such as whether python should support IPv6 etc), which of course hangs in cron job. Isn't it nice for portupgrade to have an option to remember the previous installation options of each package installed? It is an "upgrade" of port anyway. Or did I miss something? Thank you!
