personally, I'm annoyed by ports that use OPTIONS because I cannot
then set them globally in my make.conf file (which is copied around to
all my servers). I have to ensure that the proper OPTIONS are set on
every machine on which I may build a port.
Is it possible (and/or is anyone working on) a way to make the options
setting non-interactive and pull the settings from a config file
instead?
I use ports-mgmt/portconf. It puts a hook into make.conf that reads it
for port configuration. This allows make.conf to be different on each
system while having a configuration file you can copy to each system.
As for making non-interactive mode the default in ports.conf:
