#25992: rsync-3.0.7_0 error activating startup item ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Reporter: alex@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.1 Keywords: | Port: ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Trying to install rsync with the rsyncd variant on 10.6.4. Complation/installation succeeds, but then I cannot activate the startup item. Instructions provided by the build script: {{{ ---> Creating launchd control script ########################################################### # A startup item has been generated that will aid in # starting rsync with launchd. It is disabled # by default. Execute the following command to start it, # and to cause it to launch at startup: # # sudo port load rsync ########################################################### }}} Trying to activate the startup item: {{{ $ sudo port load rsync Error: Target org.macports.load returned: Launchd plist /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.rsync.plist was not found Log for rsync is at: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_net_rsync/main.log Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. }}} In /Library/LaunchDaemons there is a org.macports.rsyncd.plist file instead of the org.macports.rsync.plist that it is looking for. Changing the startupitem.name attribute in Portfile from "rsyncd" to "rsync" fixes the problem. Patch attached. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/25992> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
