Comment (by Peter.Danecek@…):

 Replying to [comment:6 ryandesign@…]:
 > The `distfiles` line should be deleted since the default will work fine.
 The plist shouldn't be listed there because it's going to be in the files
 directory, not downloaded from a server at fetch time.

 Right, this was a left-over. Already deleted.

 > The relevant section of the guide for launchd questions is the
 [http://guide.macports.org/chunked/reference.startupitems.html startupitem
 section], but MacPorts doesn't give you a lot of control over what goes
 into the plist; I see you're using `StartInterval` here which I don't
 think MacPorts knows about. In that case, you can install the plist
 manually like you're doing. Surprisingly, MacPorts doesn't check whether
 `startupitem.create` is `yes` when using the `sudo port load` and `sudo
 port unload` commands, so that works to your advantage in this case. Just
 make sure a symlink to the plist exists in
 /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.${startupitem.name}.plist like you're
 doing.

 I renamed the plist file comply with the Macports naming scheme, but I
 realise it is not always followed by other ports.

 So what is the background here, and why
 `org.macports.privileged_startx.plist` installed directly? Another doubt
 is about these subdirectories in
  `/opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons`:

 {{{

 drwxr-xr-x   4 root  wheel   136 Oct 23 17:31 org.macports.rsyncd
 }}}

 I would have installed directly in `/opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons`. Is
 there anything wrong about this?

 The guide does not mention `sudo port load ` and `sudo port unload`, but
 from `port(1)` I would understand that it translates to the corresponding
 `launchctl` commands. But the line
 {{{
   system "launchctl remove org.eugridpma.fetch-crl || true"
 }}}
 has no correspondence. Is it save to just leave this line away? Is there
 some more magic involved with `port load / unload`?

 Might it be possible and/or reasonable to use `startupitem.create  yes`
 instead and add the `StartInterval` in a later stage? Is there some hook,
 e.g. something like `startupitem-append` to do this? Or at which stage
 this could be done?

 Thanks!
