You can usually avoid that with make -DBATCH=yes.  With portupgrade it
would be portupgrade -m -DBATCH=yes.

Usually, that will, if there are options, choose the defaults, which are
reasonable.  You can put BATCH=yes in /etc/make.conf (see
/etc/defaults/make.conf) but of course, what happens then is that you
install something where you ~really~ didn't want the defaults.  :)

Xander: And this...is called a snack food.
Ampata: Snack food?
Xander: Yeah. It's a delicious, spongy, golden cake stuffed with a
delightful,
creamy white substance of goodness.


Xander: And the exciting part is that they have no ingredients that a
human
can pronounce, so it doesn't leave you with that heavy food feeling in
your
stomach.
