OK, that does work:

Setting BATCH=yes in /etc/make.conf and running:

$ portmaster --no-confirm -G /usr/ports/x11/xorg

But is there really no way to specify it as argument of portmaster?

Think I found it:

portmaster --no-confirm -G -m 'BATCH=yes' /usr/ports/x11/xorg

This seems to do what I want. Still --batch would be nice - guess I'll
create a shell alias.

Sorry for all the lame questions - it seems that I want something
really special nobody else is interested in.

No, that's not what -G does. -G makes portmaster handle the options screen
similar to portupgrade eg waiting to ask you until it runs into it.

Setting BATCH=yes in make.conf does work, maybe BATCH?=yes breaks it, my
make.conf fu is only sightly better than it documentation which isn't much.

I just tried to update an outdated system with:

$ portmaster --no-confirm -G -m 'BATCH=yes' -a

after a while it asked me whether I want to delete pcre - so -m
BATCH=yes does not work.

OK, that does work:

Setting BATCH=yes in /etc/make.conf and running:

$ portmaster --no-confirm -G /usr/ports/x11/xorg

But is there really no way to specify it as argument of portmaster?

Think I found it:

portmaster --no-confirm -G -m 'BATCH=yes' /usr/ports/x11/xorg

This seems to do what I want. Still --batch would be nice - guess I'll
create a shell alias.

Sorry for all the lame questions - it seems that I want something
really special nobody else is interested in.

Hmm...

I just tried to update an outdated system with:

$ portmaster --no-confirm -G -m 'BATCH=yes' -a

after a while it asked me whether I want to delete pcre - so -m
BATCH=yes does not work.

What's the exact message? Is it asking about deleting old distfiles?
There's an option to always delete (don't ask) and another option to
always ask. It's -d (just delete the distfile, don't ask) and -D
(always ask before deleting a distfile).

If not, what's the question being asked?

OK, that does work:

Setting BATCH=yes in /etc/make.conf and running:

$ portmaster --no-confirm -G /usr/ports/x11/xorg

But is there really no way to specify it as argument of portmaster?

Think I found it:

portmaster --no-confirm -G -m 'BATCH=yes' /usr/ports/x11/xorg

This seems to do what I want. Still --batch would be nice - guess I'll
create a shell alias.

Sorry for all the lame questions - it seems that I want something
really special nobody else is interested in.

No, that's not what -G does. -G makes portmaster handle the options screen
similar to portupgrade eg waiting to ask you until it runs into it.

Setting BATCH=yes in make.conf does work, maybe BATCH?=yes breaks it, my
make.conf fu is only sightly better than it documentation which isn't much.

What's the exact message? Is it asking about deleting old distfiles?
There's an option to always delete (don't ask) and another option to
always ask. It's -d (just delete the distfile, don't ask) and -D
(always ask before deleting a distfile).

If not, what's the question being asked?

Think I found it:

portmaster --no-confirm -G -m 'BATCH=yes' /usr/ports/x11/xorg

This seems to do what I want. Still --batch would be nice - guess I'll
create a shell alias.

Sorry for all the lame questions - it seems that I want something
really special nobody else is interested in.

No, that's not what -G does. -G makes portmaster handle the options screen
similar to portupgrade eg waiting to ask you until it runs into it.

Setting BATCH=yes in make.conf does work, maybe BATCH?=yes breaks it, my
make.conf fu is only sightly better than it documentation which isn't much.

No, that's not what -G does. -G makes portmaster handle the options screen
similar to portupgrade eg waiting to ask you until it runs into it.

Setting BATCH=yes in make.conf does work, maybe BATCH?=yes breaks it, my

Hmm...

I just tried to update an outdated system with:

$ portmaster --no-confirm -G -m 'BATCH=yes' -a

after a while it asked me whether I want to delete pcre - so -m
BATCH=yes does not work.

What's the exact message? Is it asking about deleting old distfiles?
There's an option to always delete (don't ask) and another option to
always ask. It's -d (just delete the distfile, don't ask) and -D
(always ask before deleting a distfile).

If not, what's the question being asked?

Ignore me if you don't want to help. The man page is too huge.

OK, that does work:

Setting BATCH=yes in /etc/make.conf and running:

$ portmaster --no-confirm -G /usr/ports/x11/xorg

But is there really no way to specify it as argument of portmaster?

Think I found it:

portmaster --no-confirm -G -m 'BATCH=yes' /usr/ports/x11/xorg

This seems to do what I want. Still --batch would be nice - guess I'll
create a shell alias.

Sorry for all the lame questions - it seems that I want something
really special nobody else is interested in.

What's the exact message? Is it asking about deleting old distfiles?
There's an option to always delete (don't ask) and another option to
always ask. It's -d (just delete the distfile, don't ask) and -D
(always ask before deleting a distfile).

If not, what's the question being asked?
