#23677: Uninstall of a port should automatically unload daemons -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: tomldavis@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 1.8.2 Keywords: startupitem launchctl | Port: -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Comment(by rmstonecipher@…): On the other end of things, ports with startupitems usually work best when their startupitems are loaded.[[br]] If the port with a startupitem is several steps ahead of the user's requested port install, the "load the startupitem" note may be missed.[[br]] Could the user be cut out of this equation by auto-loading startupitems during the activate phase?[[br]] This would work for ports with startupitems which work as-is, but others may experience one or more of the following problems: * some ports use both user- and system-level startupitems (e.g. dbus) * some ports have configuration files that must be edited before running the daemon/startupitem[[br]] What other issues could auto-loading startupitems cause?[[br]][[br]] Ryan Stonecipher -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/23677#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
