I agree with that. It is not difficult to REstart service by hands.
But stopping service is another story. Many ports/packages stop
service on dinstall/pkg_delete, and as result, if port with service
are upgraded in the middle of large upgrade session (and it is not
always possible to upgrade services SEPARATELY, due to dependences),
here is large window when old service is stopped, but new cannot be
started yet.
From my point of view, it is better to not stop the service by
deinstall phase, if it is not started by install.
If I do portmaster -a, deinstall of MySQL stops the mysql daemon and all
dependent services are unavailable for a very long time - until all
other packages are upgraded and administrator starts MySQL by hand. It
can be hours.
But I like the idea based on portupgrade AFTERINSTALL / (AFTERUPGRADE) -
some kind of custom hooks, where user can define actions for specific
packages / services. It can be restart in some cases, or write something
to log, or send an e-mail, or print some user defined warning text about
dependencies needed to be upgraded / restarted... and so on.
