#32819: rsync @3.0.8 +2nd instance attempts to override 1st instance of org.macports.rsyncd.plist ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Reporter: nhoj.patrick@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.0.3 Keywords: | Port: rsync ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- I'm trying to setup a seconds instance of macport so I'm able to attempt to start contributing to mac ports. I did the following and found that rsync doesn't appear to use the --prefix specified at configure. {{{ PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin ; export PATH; MP_PREFIX=/Users/john/tmp/macports-test ; sudo rm -rf $MP_PREFIX ; mkdir $MP_PREFIX ; ./configure --prefix=$MP_PREFIX --with-applications- dir=$MP_PREFIX/Applications ; make ; sudo make install ; PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:$MP_PREFIX/bin ; export PATH; sudo port -v selfupdate ; sudo port install git-core ; }}} I get the following error. {{{ ---> Activating rsync @3.0.8_1 Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.rsyncd.plist already exists and does not belong to a registered port.
