It isn't the job of portupgrade, but it is a job that portupgrade can
handle. Take a look at pkgtools.conf. In mine, I've got:
BEFOREDEINSTALL = {
# Automatically stop the service for each package that has a
# rc script enabled
'*' => proc { |origin|
cmd_stop_rc(origin)
},
# Stop postfix
'mail/postfix*' => localbase() + '/sbin/postfix stop',
}
I have a similar setup further down:
AFTERINSTALL = {
# Re-enable the X wrapper
'x11-servers/XFree86-4-Server' => sprintf(
'cd %s/bin && if [ -x Xwrapper-4 ]; then ln -sf Xwrapper-4 X; fi',
x11base()),
# Automatically start the server for each package that
# installs a rc file enabled
'*' => proc { |origin|
cmd_enable_rc(origin)
},
# Start postfix
'mail/postfix*' => localbase() + '/sbin/postfix start',
}
I've only made a few additions to the pkgtools.conf that comes with
portupgrade.
