Bug 295312: ports-mgmt/pkg: pkg upgrade:  'these portts to be upgraded; y/n and
lists; NEED OPTION to list partially at first
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=295312



--- Description ---
when pkg lists the packages to be upgaded/removed/added after the
pkg upgrade command, here all too often due to an Xterm or number of
upgrades I am unable to view, for example, the a-l entries due to 
buffer run out, or xterm's scrollbar inactive when attempting to move it via
mouse. So it would be nice to have a y/n/show_50_at_a_time triple choice of
answer rather than
y/n, or, a switch added to pkg so that it pages the results on its own before
asking.
