I have removed the prompt now. This is a required dependency for ports not much different than other dependencies. It is necessary to render, interact and configure options in the new options framework. The old UI was seriously lacking in functionality and extendability. It was crutched by only being in base, meaning any change we made would need to wait for a *FreeBSD release* to improve or change the situation. Now we can make continual incremental improvements to the ports config dialog. NO_DIALOG can be used to avoid this config dialog. The "old config" code was removed as there is really no good reason to keep it and maintain it. It would be prone to bitrot and risk even showing the wrong options. There is a several-second delay before bringing up the new dialog now on the first time. After that this will just update as usual with portmaster runs. -- Regards, Bryan Drewery bdrewery@freenode/EFNet
