One thing I'd like to add if possible is a link to the change that might be responsible for the failure or most recent commit, though naturally that will get complicated. Anything else?I’d like to see which options were enabled, which were disabled, and for it to be easy to see which ones have non-default values.
The options information is already included in configure output, but I feel this is a bug in supported-options-message. I don't see why it doesn't include the same information that show-options does, and ideally just have a single unified target that displays all the useful information rather than requiring the user go and compare the output against the defaults.
I think any improvements to this (and I welcome them) should be done separately as part of work on bsd.options.mk rather than build tools, though once done we can certainly include any new information. In particular I think a single variable that outputs something like:
PKG_OPTIONS_CHANGES="+dtrace -doc"that simply shows diffs to defaults would be good, would map naturally to a useful build report column, and could easily be added to the scan index.
