If your port requires user input to build, configure, or
install, you must set IS_INTERACTIVE
in
your Makefile
. This will allow
“overnight builds” to skip your port if the user
sets the variable BATCH
in his environment (and
if the user sets the variable INTERACTIVE
, then
only those ports requiring interaction
are built). This will save a lot of wasted time on the set of
machines that continually build ports (see below).
It is also recommended that if there are reasonable
default answers to the questions, you check the
PACKAGE_BUILDING
variable and turn off the
interactive script when it is set. This will allow us to
build the packages for CDROMs and FTP.
