#41039: Installing MacPorts on Mavericks Renames "staff" Group To "macports" -----------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: roberthuston@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 2.2.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: | -----------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by roberthuston@…): Digging more into the installer targets of the MacPorts project Makefile, the installation process creates a MacPorts user and a macports group. The user ID will be the next available ID, but the group ID ends up being 20, which is also the same ID used for staff. Is this a misuse of gid's or is it the correct UNIX way. Either way, I sometimes see things as "staff" and other times as "macports," usually after running the port command itself. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/41039#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
