I am almost new to portmaster, so I got a question - is there any possibility to restart installed services as in portupgrade with defined BEFOREBUILD / BEFOREDEINSTALL / AFTERINSTALL? Or is there any future plan to do so? It is annoying if I end up with some dead services after upgrade just because I forgot to manualy do /usr/local/etc/rc.d/some_daemon restart


This is more a complaint about the existing ports infrastructure, as
IMHO, it's something that should be handled there and not necessarily by
"third-party" port management utilities.

Some existing ports (such as smartmontools, i.e. smartd) do this, while
others (such as postfix) do not.

Yes, you are right, but there is not this functionality in current ports infrastructure (AFAIK), so I am happy that portupgrade does this job, but newer versions of portupgrade have some other "so called features", which I don't like, so I am trying to switch to portmaster.
