ticket#25375 couchdb (rookie here)

[Daniel Terreros]

Been wrestling with this one for two days finally caving. Someone posted
this response to my ticket

"The patch pointed out by luke.driscoll helped me out (
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12447524/couch_app.patch<https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12447524/couch_app.patch>
)

To build manually, copy the diff file to
${portpath}/files/patch-src-couchdb-couch_app.erl.diff and apply the
following to Portfile:


--- Portfile.orig	2010-04-10 23:30:00.000000000 +0300
+++ Portfile	2010-06-29 23:04:38.000000000 +0300
@@ -41,6 +41,8 @@
 set plistdir /Library/LaunchDaemons
 startupitem.uniquename org.apache.couchdb

+patchfiles	patch-src-couchdb-couch_app.erl.diff
+
 post-destroot {
     addgroup ${dbgroup}
     adduser ${dbuser} gid=[existsgroup ${dbgroup}]

Now couchdb works again!"

Applying it to portfile was no issue

but when I go down the port path, I see no "files directory" and the patch
itself wants to be placed in

src/couchdb/couch_app.erl


and I have no idea where that is, even doing a search on the system doesn't
turn up couch_app.erl


making this harder than it needs to be I know
