Wait, are you using Mac OS X, or just Darwin? I thought part of the reason for renaming DarwinPorts to MacPorts was that we didn't want to support plain Darwin anymore....
yes, just plain darwin ... din't know about that restriction (you might want to put that on a web page or something ...).
Oh, there are lots of things we should put on the web page or something. This transition we're currently undergoing has thrown everything into disarray.
I believe the problem was that most of the developers did not in fact have a pure Darwin box to test with, so things constantly broke for Darwin,
This is true, but most ports should work with plain Darwin. If things are broken, patches are always welcome.
and with Macs and therefore Mac OS X gaining popularity, it was felt that supporting Darwin was not very feasible. I have the apache2 port installed and I do use launchctl to start and stop it, and it works fine on Mac OS X. But I also unfortunately have no experience with pure Darwin.
