#34343: dbus: uses startupitem.install, which fails on MacPorts < 2.1 -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: pixilla@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: High | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.0.4 Keywords: | Port: dbus -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- As of r92726 the dbus port already uses the startupitem.install keyword, which does not exist before MacPorts 2.1, therefore, as [http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-users/2012-May/028790.html reported on the mailing list], users of MacPorts < 2.1 encounter an error when trying to use this port, for example: {{{ $ port info dbus Error: Unable to open port: can't read "startupitem.install": no such variable }}} If you want to use startupitem.install in the port already, you need to preface any usage of that variable with something like the following so that MacPorts 2.0.x won't fail: {{{ if {[info exists startupitem.install]} }}} -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/34343> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
