>Description:
Right now there are two problems with the FreeBSD Ports tree with
respect to the way it deals with services.
- If I upgrade Apache, MySQL or PostgreSQL, it does not restart the
service, meaning it won't use the freshly installed daemon. This has
potential security issues.
- If I upgrade Dovecot, it shuts it down during the upgrade, but won't
restart it. This means that I have to watch portmaster to complete and
must not forget to restart Dovecot afterwards.
>How-To-Repeat:
Run this command:
portmaster dovecot
It will shut down Dovecot and will not restart it afterwards.
>Fix:
We know exactly which ports install rc scripts (USE_RC_SUBR). Why not
run `/usr/local/etc/rc.d/${FOO} status' and `/usr/local/etc/rc.d/${FOO}
stop' prior to installation. Based on the return value of the first, we
can run `/usr/local/etc/rc.d/${FOO} start' after installation.
