#48045: dbus "no_root" fails to install ---------------------------+------------------------ Reporter: ocroquette@… | Owner: mcalhoun@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: dbus | ---------------------------+------------------------ Comment (by ryandesign@…): I feel that the "no_root" variant should not exist. Instead, the port should detect if the MacPorts prefix was created with a non-root user, and act accordingly. As far as I know, the inability of dbus no_root to install a launchd plist is not specific to the dbus port. Any port attempting to install a launchd plist would experience this failure in a non-root MacPorts prefix. Therefore, it is not up to each port to fix this, but rather it is up to the user to configure their MacPorts installation properly. If any change is needed in MacPorts related to this, it would be a change in MacPorts base to either alert the user to their improper configuration and/or for the installation process to automatically disable startupitems if the installation isn't going to use root. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/48045#comment:3> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
