Comment (by neverpanic):
While MacPorts does have the capability to autostart launchd agents and
daemons, very very few ports use this, and I would prefer if we kept it
this way. So far, it seems net/wireshark_chmodbpf uses it (because without
it, the port doesn't make sense), security/certsync uses it (again, the
port doesn't make sense without it), sysutils/mpstats uses it (same
reason, the user wouldn't have it installed if they didn't want the
autostart), www/edbrowse uses it (but not to actually start the service,
just to create a directory, it seems), and science/SDRplay3 uses it (I
disagree with its use, it shouldn't auto-start, but it's not a commonly
installed port, so I don't care).
You are now adding an autostarted item to a port that's commonly installed
as a dependency. I really really don't want a random service to run just
because something depends on shared-mime-info. Please revert the
autostart.
