The apache2 port tries to install a startup item, so I've made a simple patch to macports to allow a startupitem type of "none" that just ignores it.
This patch should be put into trac (with the base component) so that someone with commit to base/ can review and apply it.
What's the best, most reasonable approach for encouraging portfile maintainers to accept my patches?
Attach the patch to a bug/ticket in trac and assign it to the maintainer. (and make sure to include that the patch enables the port to be installed without being root) -- Daniel J.
