While updating ports some take a long time to compile and when it
finally comes time to install I need to type password again.
Is there an option to prevent that? Smth like running

$ sudo true

would be enough to update time stamp. They're per tty by default, anyway.

How about using `timestamp_timeout` option in sudoers(5) ? OR maybe using
NOPASSWD in sudoers for that specific command ?

Looking at sudoers(5) it doesn't seem that I can easily use different
settings per tty. And I'm *satisfied* with default timeout.

Increasing timeout or not using password is more insecure than
preventing timestamp from expiring in an isolated tty (screen/tmux).

While I can sympathize with your situation, I think you'd be better off
in this case running your portmaster commands in an actual root shell.

Wouldn't periodic hook be useful to smth else besides PM_SU_CMD? Like
sending time passed since current port build started to xterm title.
It may help to guess how long till it completes the build.
