Ticket #13807 (new enhancement)

Opened 5 years ago

Last modified 5 years ago

support for launchd.plist items (e.g. UserName) in portfiles

Reported by: jwa@… Owned by: macports-tickets@…
Priority: Normal Milestone: MacPorts Future
Component: base Version: 1.6.0
Keywords: Cc: febeling@…
Port: couchdb

Description

Currently there are only few plist items that can be defined in portfiles. I specifically have need for UserName for CouchDB (there is no way to specify the user in ini file!), but I expect other may have need for others, too.

  • Port set to couchdb

The couchdb install contains a launchd plist already, is there anything wrong with it? The mp startup item does not work for me, though. So this works: 

sudo launchctl load -w /opt/local/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.couchdb.plist

and this doesn't: 

sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.CouchDB.plist

The port install UI message advertises the latter one, which is a bit unfortunate since it's broken.
