I had a thought about implementing this in bsd.port.mk, but to tell the truth it would be better handled by your port manager of choice-- I can't find an option for portmaster, but I bet someone willing to send a working patch to dougb can earn themselves some brownie points. I would do it myself, but meh.... it doesn't upset me that much. However, having services not restarted after an upgrade can leave you with a) a vulnerable older service and b) a nasty shock when you decide to reboot six months later and it breaks :) Chris _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
