Thanks Marc I will check those out. And I port new and updated
applications as there are missing or outdated packages for my needs.

I have noticed that when building packages I am required to install

RTFM,

Why do you build packages yourself, btw ? It takes time and space, and
you can just use the trusted binary packages unless you have very good
reasons to avoid them.
Is it possible to somehow have the make process use a chroot and avoid
installing packages globally? Slight tangent, but why do pkg_add/pkg_delete
not prompt to confirm before taking actions which to me would make much more
sense than just doing the action right away.
This is Unix. Commands do stuff by default. Observe rm. By default, it
removes files.
