Hi folks,
As crees@ suggested, I'm sending an email to ports@ about this.
What really bothers me when I use the FreeBSD Ports tree on one of my
systems, is that the behaviour of dealing with services is quite
inconsistent. As mentioned in the PR:
- 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.
My question is whether anyone has ever attempted to improve the
integration with rc-scripts? In the PR I propose something along these
lines:
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.
