A global NO_OPTIONS is also planned like David has written. I understand your problems, too. I have also had this one (or some more) times, starting a large portupgrade over night and to see the next morning that it has stopped at 9pm inside a dialog. But I think this is solved by a global NO_OPTIONS setting for those who don't like it. Probably it would be best to wait a few days and check what else needs to be changed. With regard to naming, I would suggest something like NO_MENUCONFIG (if this is not yet implemented and used). Just for discussion. NO_OPTIONS can probably lead to some misunderstanding to build ports without anything. But configuration through pkgtools or env variables still works. Sebastian > Regards, > Frank
