I assume that $MP_PREFIX/opt/local/etc/macports/macports.conf must be the proper location.
You’re right; I’ve corrected the Guide in r122772.
However, why the need for an extra property? Aren't those two property settings equivalent?
{{{ startupitem_type none startupitem_install no }}}
They are not equivalent. The first disables creation of StartupItems completely; you’d use this if you didn’t want them available at all for some reason. The second only disables symlinking them into `/Library` and is usually used to prevent conflicts between two parallel MacPorts installations; I believe you can still have launchd load them by passing the full filenames to `launchctl(1)`, although I’m not 100% sure. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/44475#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
