I really want the standard ways of installing and upgrading packages
(make install, portinstall) to support those features.
What is your point of view for "standard ways"?
For me, portinstall/portupgrade is not part of the base, so it can be
hardly more standard than portmaster (or other tools). And as time goes
by portupgrade has more and more issues with dependencies etc., that I
am migrating to portmaster... It means - portmaster is my standard way
of installing, portupgrade is your standard way, but only "make install"
and pkg_add are official ways included in base.
So... I think there must be "hooks" in ports system and pkg_add itself,
that any other install / upgrade tool will use it automatically.
Anyway, your proposal is useful. It would be nice to have it in the base
or in some tool(s) from ports.
