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

No such feature is planned at this time.

Next question - is there any documentation for portmaster.rc / .portmasterrc? I can't find any documentation for it on the internet, just some notices to search in portmaster script (source file) for "while getopts", where variables are defined, but it is not usual way to get documentation ;)

Agreed, however at the moment I lack time to do a thorough job of this. I did add a note to the just-committed 2.3 man page to tell the user where to look though. I hope to update this for a future version.

And last question - /etc/portmaster.rc - is it realy right place according to man hier? I would expect it in /usr/local/etc/portmaster.rc.

You're absolutely right. I copied the code for this from mergemaster, and neglected to fix the path. I have added support for /usr/local/etc in version 2.3 and mentioned in the man page that /etc is deprecated. In the next version the presence of /etc/portmaster.rc will throw an error, and in the version after that it will be fatal.


Thanks for your interest and suggestions!

Doug
