#34343: dbus: uses startupitem.install, which fails on MacPorts < 2.1

Priority: High | Milestone:
Component: ports | Version: 2.0.4
Keywords: | Port: dbus
-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------
As of r92726 the dbus port already uses the startupitem.install keyword,
which does not exist before MacPorts 2.1, therefore, as
[http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-users/2012-May/028790.html
reported on the mailing list], users of MacPorts < 2.1 encounter an error
when trying to use this port, for example:
{{{
$ port info dbus
Error: Unable to open port: can't read "startupitem.install": no such
variable
}}}
If you want to use startupitem.install in the port already, you need to
preface any usage of that variable with something like the following so
that MacPorts 2.0.x won't fail:
{{{
if {[info exists startupitem.install]}
}}}
