#16947: [couchdb] launchd plist aka. StartupItem created by macports does not work
-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
Reporter: febeling at macports.org | Owner: jwa at macports.org
Type: defect | Status: new
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.
