I know the answer is probably going to be one of: a) you have the source; b) it's too hard; c) you can already do it by ....; but I would very much like to see an option added to portupgrade like the -F/--fetch-only option for fetching distfiles, which would run any config target (recursing to required/dependent packages according to flags), and then stop. It could be called something like --configure, and abbreviated -j (mnemonic jumpstart: I'm reaching, since portupgrade is running out of meaningful single-letter options), and used like: portupgrade -Nj # jumpstart config dialogs for port and requirements portupgrade -F # fetch distfile(s) portupgrade -NR # install/upgrade ports and requirements, unattended This would allow ports and their requirements/dependents to be configured interactively at the first step, and compiled/installed unattended at the last step.
