Description Dean Matzkov 2011-03-26 13:55:03 UTC
Currently, the `quickpkg' utility only supports --long-options (save the -h switch). It'd be nice if it had some short-option equivalents.

For example, whenever I use quickpkg, I pretty much _always_ specify --with-config=y (wouldn't want to distribute packages to other machines with missing configuration files). It gets pretty annoying having to type-out that switch every time I use the utility.

Being able to do something like the following would be ideal:
$ quickpkg -i dev-db/postgresql-server

as opposed to, currently, this:
$ quickpkg --include-config=y dev-db/postgresql-server

You could set --include-config=y in QUICKPKG_DEFAULT_OPTS in make.conf. It's mentioned in --help, but the man page needs an update.
