I'm setting up a new machine. At some point I'm going to run a command something like "pkg_add firefox ... lua ... ImageMagick". This goes off and downloads a million things, before eventually asking me what version of lua I want. I pick, then things go on, then eventually some dependency of ImageMagick, and so on.
The problem is I'd like to walk away and take a nap while the downloading is taking place, but I can't because pkg_add asks questions in the middle. I have alternately tried frontloading or backloading known ambiguous packages, but new flavors and dependencies are always being introduced so that's not very effective. I would like pkg_add to scan the list of requested packages, their recursive dependencies, and then present me with all the questions at once. Ideally, it would also only ask the question once. Among the ... above I usually include git and rsync, but rsync is a dependency for git, which means pkg_add asks me twice which flavor I want.
