Thank you very much for this feature and your ongoing work on the
portmaster!
One little idea to next improvement (and next work for you ;])
There can be some configuration variable / env. variable to control the
situation when "proceed" question will be asked:
1] always
2] only if something new will be installed
3] never
And one more question - how hard (for you / portmaster) is to monitor
changes of dependencies before/after upgrade of some port? It can be
useful if portmaster can report dependencies which will not be needed
after upgrade (as part of the final report = after "The following
actions were performed" list)
