I too have questions about how to use the new OPTIONS framework. Could you run as BATCH? NetBSD pkgsrc, ported to other mostly (quasi-)Unix OSes in addition to NetBSD, reads options in mk.conf, usually in directory /etc , There are no FreeBSD-ports-style dialogs with pkgsrc. I have used pkgsrc only with NetBSD. I would like to know how to get a log with a portmaster upgrade, such as portmaster -r png- (why the hyphen at the end?) without the log getting messed up by an OPTIONS dialog if I use tee or script. If I specify in /etc/portmaster.conf, PM_LOG=/var/tmp/portmaster.log (for instance), would every run of portmaster log everything I see racing by on the screen to this file? If so, I might want to move/rename this file after each portmaster run so I can see which log goes with which ports. I've run "man portmaster" repeatedly each time looking for something I might have previously missed. I also looked at the Porter's Handbook online.
