And it maintains the idea of minimal transgressions outside the /opt sandbox. {{{ launchctl load -w /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org .macports.mysql5/org.macports.mysql5.plist launchctl load -w /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.apache2/org.macports.apache2.plist }}} " enhancement closed Normal base invalid paulbeard@… nox@… jmpp@…
