transmission - add +daemon variant

Reported by: quintas@… Owned by: macports-tickets@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version:
Keywords: Cc:
Port: transmission

Description

transmission has the option to be built as a daemon, which uses much less resources and is better suited for those of us running it on remote servers. please add a +daemon variant to build as only a daemon. these are the flags i use to compile: --enable-cli --enable-daemon --without-gtk --disable-mac

It's not great when adding a variant removes standard features. Maybe a subport would be better.

these are the flags i use to compile: --enable-cli --enable-daemon --without-gtk --disable-mac

And that worked for you? Because this ticket says it doesn't work:

it used to work until recently. the mac dev made some recent change that broke it after years of working. but because the mac dev doesn't understand the unix build system, nor does he care about the daemon mode, and because the main dev doesn't have a mac, it's unlikely they'll get around to fixing it.
