#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 alexreg@…): Replying to [comment:10 adrinux@…]:

That thing where you find something wrong, search and find out you've both had the problem before and posted a solution :/ Just discovered macports is once again set to use group id 20 on my box. {{{ dscl -q . -read /Groups/macports AppleMetaNodeLocation: /Local/Default GeneratedUID: 00878EA3-A881-47A2-BDB1-9258F20022C2 PrimaryGroupID: 20 RecordName: macports RecordType: dsRecTypeStandard:Groups }}}

This time I just changed the macports GID instead. List all IDs so we can choose one that's not in use {{{ dscl . -list /Groups PrimaryGroupID }}} Then I changed macports id from 20 to 502, and changed the macports users PrimaryGroupID to the same number, 502 in my case. {{{ sudo dscl -q . -create /Groups/macports PrimaryGroupID 502 sudo dscl -q . -create /Users/macports PrimaryGroupID 502 }}}

This problem just happened for me, disturbingly. Can the MacPorts maintainers please fix this in their release? The fix you suggested seems to work, however. Thanks. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/41039#comment:11> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
