In general, the only safe method is to stop the service before deinstall and
to start it after the upgrade. If a service must not be interrupted, it
probably shouldn't be updated in first place.
Quite some time ago one daemon always ceased to work for me after a
portupgrade. I've added the following lines in my pkgtools.conf (taken from
the sample file) and everything worked fine afterwards.
BEFOREDEINSTALL = {
# Automatically stop the service for each package that has a
# rc script enabled
'*' => proc { |origin|
cmd_stop_rc(origin)
},
}
AFTERINSTALL = {
# Automatically start the server for each package that
# installs a rc file enabled
'*' => proc { |origin|
cmd_start_rc(origin)
},
}
