#16947: [couchdb] launchd plist aka. StartupItem created by macports does not work

 Priority:  Normal                 |   Milestone:  Port Bugs       
Component:  ports                  |     Version:  1.7.0           
 Keywords:  trunk                  |        Port:  couchdb         
-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
 On {{{port install couchdb +server}}}, couchdb port creates a launchd
 plist file, even though the project contents already contain one. This
 additional one created by macports does not work. The one contained in the
 project does work though.

 Working:
 {{{
 /opt/local/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.couchdb.plist
 }}}

 Broken:
 {{{
 /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.CouchDB.plist
 }}}

 (trunk on Intel/10.5.5)

 Why not just remove the {{{+server}}} variant to fix this. CouchDB does
 not make
 any sense as a client library, since and HTTP client works just fine, and
 a not loaded
 plist somewhere in the contents should not cause much trouble. And
 variants
 are not consequently supported as a concept, so maybe it's wise to avoid
 them
 for now.
