Bug ID: 295312
Summary: ports-mgmt/pkg: pkg upgrade: 'these portts to be
upgraded; y/n and lists; NEED OPTION to list partially
at first
Product: Ports & Packages
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: Individual Port(s)
Assignee: pkg@FreeBSD.org
Reporter: jbtakk@iherebuywisely.com
Flags: maintainer-feedback?(pkg@FreeBSD.org)

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.
