#55740: startupitem / launchd plist / port load instructions are not printed when
installing from a binary archive
------------------------+-------------------
 Reporter:  ryandesign  |      Owner:
     Type:  defect      |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal      |  Milestone:
Component:  base        |    Version:  2.4.2
 Keywords:              |       Port:
------------------------+-------------------
 If I install a port from a binary archive, instructions for how to load
 the launchd plist are not printed:

 {{{
 $ port -b install baloo -universal
 --->  Computing dependencies for baloo
 --->  Fetching archive for baloo
 --->  Attempting to fetch baloo-4.14.3_3.darwin_16.x86_64.tbz2 from
 https://packages.macports.org/baloo
 --->  Attempting to fetch baloo-4.14.3_3.darwin_16.x86_64.tbz2.rmd160 from
 https://packages.macports.org/baloo
 --->  Installing baloo @4.14.3_3
 --->  Activating baloo @4.14.3_3
 --->  Cleaning baloo
 --->  Some of the ports you installed have notes:
   baloo has the following notes:
     Don't forget that dbus needs to be started as the local user (not with
 sudo) before any KDE programs will launch.
     To start it run the following command:
      launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-
 session.plist
 }}}

 Compare this to what's printed when I build from source:

 {{{
 $ port -s install baloo
 --->  Computing dependencies for baloo
 --->  Fetching distfiles for baloo
 --->  Attempting to fetch baloo-4.14.3.tar.xz from
 https://distfiles.macports.org/baloo
 --->  Verifying checksums for baloo
 --->  Extracting baloo
 --->  Applying patches to baloo
 --->  Configuring baloo
 --->  Building baloo
 --->  Staging baloo into destroot
 --->  Creating launchd control script
