This isnt a pkg(8) thing. pkg doesn't throw up any dialog boxes itself.
If you install using the standard pre-compiled packages, you'll just
get the docs installed, no questions asked, because that is the default
setting.
I guess what you're talking about is actually compiling your own
packages -- in which case, yes, you will see options dialog boxes quite
regularly. Given that, there is a simple global switch you can use.
Simply add one or other of the lines
OPTIONS_UNSET=3D docs
or
OPTIONS_SET=3D docs
according to taste to /etc/make.conf (or
/usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/make.conf if using pousdriere). In fact, if
there are any other options you want set or unset globally, those two
variables will each take a space separated list of option names.
See the commentary in ${PORTSDIR}/Mk/bsd.options.mk for the gory details
plus some other variations on options variables that should let you tune
things precisely to your liking.
The other thing looming on the horizon is sub-packages, which hasn't hit
the ports tree yet but there's a review at
https://reviews.freebsd.org/D16457
In essense this just divides the files created during compilation into
several different packages, each of which could be installed
more-or-less independently. (At the moment, each compilation of a port
generates exactly one package, although with things like flavors, any
one port can be recompiled several different ways to create the
different flavours)
So, alongside your package foo-1.2.3 containing the foo application,
there could be a foo-docs-1.2.3 with the documentation,
foo-examples-1.2.3 with examples, foo-devel-1.2.3 with header files and
a statically linked or profiled library, foo-debug-1.2.3 with separate
debug symbols, etc. etc.
Cheers,
Matthew
