id summary reporter owner description type status priority milestone component version resolution keywords cc port 44496 startupitem_install not respected when installing from binary archive ora.et.labora@… macports-tickets@… "The documentation at https://guide.macports.org/chunked/installing.macports.html states: > After installing the second instance you might need to add > '''startupitem_install no''' > to $MP_PREFIX/etc/macports/macports.conf to avoid conflicts in /Library/LaunchAgents.'' The documentation is probably not entirely precise as I assume, that nothing should be installed outside of ${MP_PREFIX-/opt/local} if this option is set to ""no"". Cause it does not only conflict in /Library/LaunchAgents but also in /Library/LaunchDaemons or any other ""shared"" place. However, even with ''startupitem_install no''' a conflict is created as the following session demonstrates: {{{ $ port version Version: 2.3.1 $ fgrep startupitem /opt/local/etc/macports/macports.conf [..] startupitem_type default startupitem_install no # check whether installed (-L to list sym links) $ find -L /Library/Launch* ~/Library/Launch* -type f | fgrep -i mysql $ sudo port install mysql56-server [..] # bingo! $ find -L /Library/Launch* ~/Library/Launch* -type f | fgrep -i mysql /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql56-server.plist }}} " defect closed Normal MacPorts 2.5.0 base 2.3.1 fixed
