In addition to that it would be nice (if it's not already done) to
store this information in a log file somewhere so that one can
revisit and see what needs to be manually configured for each
installed package.
I have this in syslog.conf:
!pkg,pkg-static
*.* /var/log/pkg.log
I think only changes are logged, not messages:
Apr 26 23:50:22 maja pkg: p5-DBI reinstalled: 1.641 -> 1.641
Apr 26 23:50:22 maja pkg: mariadb101-client upgraded: 10.1.31 -> 10.1.32_2
Apr 26 23:50:22 maja pkg: libnghttp2 upgraded: 1.31.0 -> 1.31.1
Thanks for the tip. I'll use this.
However, someone who knows about this probably know how to manually
configure their system already.
I want to make sure first timers and newbies don't miss important messages
on how to configure the system.
Often we get inquires about stuff that is clearly described in the pkg
message and bug reports that are a consequence of wrong configuration.
How can we make this more clear so that it is not missed?
As Eugene already noted - syscons has scrollback buffer. Did you tried
"Scroll Lock" on your keyboard?
If you need to re-show message of any installed package, "pkg info -D"
(or pkg info --pkg-message) is your friend. Nothing is lost. You can
view it anytime.
# pkg info -D mariadb101-server
mariadb101-server-10.1.33:

Remember to run mysql_upgrade (with the optional --datadir=<dbdir> flag)
the first time you start the MySQL server after an upgrade from an
earlier version.
MariaDB respects hier(7) and doesn't check /etc and /etc/mysql for
my.cnf. Please move existing my.cnf files from those paths to
/usr/local/etc and /usr/local/etc/mysql.
This port does NOT include the mytop perl script, this is included in
the MariaDB tarball but the most recent version can be found in the
databases/mytop port
