#23113: cacti should install a sample config file -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: markd@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.8.2 Keywords: | Port: cacti -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- cacti currently installs a file config.php, then the port prints instructions advising the user to edit this file. The user's changes will be lost when the user upgrades the port. The port should instead install a sample config file, e.g. config.php.sample, and advise the user to copy this to config.php and edit it. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/23113> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

[MacPorts] #22449: StartupItems page could be clearer?

#22449: StartupItems page could be clearer? ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: dreamcat4@… | Owner: markd@… Type: request | Status: new Priority: High | Milestone: MacPorts 1.8.2 Component: guide | Version: 1.8.1 Keywords: launchd startupitem | Port: ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Hi! The macports guide: http://ruderich.com/macports/chunked/ch05s07.html Just isn't quite clear enough when talking about startup items / daemondo / launchd plists. We hope it may be improved in three areas: 1) Daemondo command-line arguments (string quoting): The section 5.7.2 Note: ---- Do not wrap values in quotes if passing arguments to the daemon; “executable” StartupItem elements must be tagged individually so the spaces between arguments serve as delimiters for “string” tags. For example, this startupitem key/value pair: startupitem.executable ${prefix}/sbin/vm-pop3d -d 10 -t 600 ---- This explanatory note is well intentions, However it its just a little too unclear. A user may wrap the entire command string in quotes. The explanatory note says nothing against this (and execvp fails). TCL does not strip any outside quotes and therefore it would be better to say: "Do use quotes anywhere in the command string" rather than "Do not wrap values in quotes if passing arguments". BUT "A quoted string will be passed as-is.", "unlike regular shell command, quotes will not be stripped". etc. A clearer explanation (with examples) is provided on the mailing list thread. Please see the mailinglist thread for full details: http://www.mail-archive.com/macports- users(a)lists.macosforge.org/msg16988.html 2) port load / port unload command not documented. This is a new feature, recently introduced into MacPorts. But it isn't mentioned anywhere in section 5.7.4. It seem to be applicable to daemondo items only. So that would correspond to plists created by "startupitem.executable" and "startupitem <script>" methods. Or a manually created script that called daaemondo. "port load daemondo-label" "port unload daemondo-label" See the blog post: http://www.reasonablyopinionated.com/2009/06/intro-to-using-launchctl- with-macports.html It is also known that the command: "port load tagname" will work globally for all plist files. Or only daemondo plist files 3) Manual plists in files/ directory Users can only create one plist file per Portfile. It may be the case for a complex software service, multiple plists need to be used. It would be nice to see a mention at the end of the page that explains briefly how you can put extra manual plists into files/ directory of a port. Thank you. For all 1),2),3) Answers please see mailinglist dicussion: http://www.mail-archive.com/macports- users(a)lists.macosforge.org/msg16988.html We were all quite confused but got there in the end ! -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/22449> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

#18359: Guide has wrong advice about variants -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: markd@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Website & Documentation Component: guide | Version: 1.7.0 Keywords: | Port: -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- The Guide [http://guide.macports.org/#development.variants.phase says this] of variants: If a variant requires options in addition to those provided by keywords using -append and/or -delete, in other words, any actions that would normally take place within a port installation phase, do not try to do this within the variant declaration. Rather, modify the behavior of any affected phases when the variant is invoked using the variant_isset keyword. {{{ post-destroot { xinstall -m 755 -d ${destroot}${prefix}/etc/ xinstall ${worksrcpath}/examples/foo.conf \ ${destroot}${prefix}/etc/ if {[variant_isset carbon]} { delete ${destroot}${prefix}/bin/emacs delete ${destroot}${prefix}/bin/emacs-${version} } } }}} I do not know why the Guide says this because it is the opposite of what I recommend. It should say something more like: If a variant requires options in addition to those provided by keywords using -append and/or -delete, in other words, any actions that would normally take place within a port installation phase, include these within the variant declaration if possible, so that it is easier to see at a glance what a variant does.
