I run a script to update ports which uses /usr/bin/tee to do some logging of the process. This has worked for a very long time (years) but sometime in the past week(s) or so something has changed when an OPTIONS screen displays and "tee" is being employed.
I cannot use TAB to get to the OK button. The TAB key cause the cursor to go to the next word to the right. The UP/DOWN arrows are also misbehaving. I'm sure this is hard to visualize but a short script shows the new(?) behavior: =========== #!/bin/sh logfile="~/test_interaction.log" cd /usr/ports/multimedia/mplayer make config | tee /dev/tty >> ${logfile} =========== Once you see the resulting action, just ctrl-c to exit and leave the OPTIONS settings unchanged. You may need to issue a "reset" command to restore the xterm to normal colors. Any port that uses the OPTIONS framework can be substituted and produce the same results. I thought perhaps it was a recent change to xterm behavior but I portdowngraded to xterm-228 and the behavior was the same. The last time it appeared to work correctly was on 2-16-2008 when the "Options for sox 14.0.1" screen was displayed. I last updated sources on 2-18-2008 if that has any bearing on it. I understand that logging the output of an OPTIONS selection produces a bizzare log entry but its not been a problem in the past when it was just another part of the port update process. Anyone have any ideas what's happening here? I don't think I'm misapplying the use of "tee".
