Comment (by ctreleaven):

 Replying to [comment:21 pixilla]:
 > If there is no problem with adding "pkg" to the name of your packages
 launchd plist to remove the file name collision please do so or explain
 the problem this solution presents.

 The main problem is that my installer will be used to upgrade a lot of
 existing MythTV 0.27 systems and the existing launchd plist is already
 named org.macports.mariadb-server.plist.

 Plus, as I tried to explain above, I don't think this will pose a
 significant problem going forward.  Even if somebody does mix MacPorts and
 then an installer containing MariaDB, all they have to do to get back to
 normal is:

 {{{
 sudo port unload mariadb
 sudo port deactivate mariadb # plist is deleted
 sudo port activate mariadb # new plist points to MacPorts-installed
 version
 sudo port load mariadb
 }}}

 Seems like a simple-enough workaround should it be needed.
