Hello list, Some time ago I announced my intention to implement a new utility to configure ports interactively via a CLI [1]. Because other tools use TUI and seem unsuitable for speech synthesizers. The new utility is portoptscli (Port Options Command Line Interface) [2]. The version 0.0.1 is available. I tested with Orca. To install and use: % git clone https://gitlab.com/alfix/portoptscli.git % cd portoptscli % make Just make because the utility has no dependencies. Then add to /etc/make.conf: DIALOG4PORTS=/absolute/path/to/portoptscli Now 'make config' in a port directory will use portoptscli to set up the port options. Of course a manual page is available. To read: 'cd' to the git cloned directory and 'man ./portoptscli.1'. A README with intro, demo, commands, and extra info is available [3]. Please note, the README describes 2 installation ways via port and package, I submitted a PR to add portoptscli in the FreeBSD port/package repository but it is still a Work In Progress [4]; so you should build the utility using 'git clone' and 'make' like described previously. Portoptscli can be a laboratory and a starting point to understand the best way to provide accessible menu, checklist, radiolist and other existing TUI components to set up and install the OS. Please let me know any problem, idea, and tip. The utility prints correct info on the screen but my hearing is not perfect, I may have misunderstood some word or sound.
