pkg messages

I often find that when installing a new port when messages come up they go by to fast and I never think about going back and checking them later, just for kicks, is there an option that pauses on messages?
 
I am not aware of any options to pause when messages are displayed.
However, most of the time when a message is displayed it comes either from a pkg-message file in the port directory, or from a text directly written below the
Code:
post-install:
target found in the Makefile.

So looking at those two places might provide you a way to reread the original message you missed.
Hope this helps!
 
portmaster -i -d -B -P -g category/port will display the message(s) before relinquishing its terminal back to the prompt. You may find it useful... there is also
Code:
/usr/ports/category/port/pkg-message
/usr/ports/category/port/work/pkg-message
which are probably its two usual locations... the latter will disappear upon cleaning, etc, though...
