New description:
On {{{port install couchdb +server}}}, couchdb port creates a launchd
plist file, even though the project contents already contain one. This
additional one created by macports does not work. The one contained in the
project does work though.
Working:
{{{
/opt/local/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.couchdb.plist
}}}
Broken:
{{{
/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.CouchDB.plist
}}}
(trunk on Intel/10.5.5)
Why not just remove the {{{+server}}} variant to fix this. CouchDB does
not make
any sense as a client library, since any HTTP client works just fine, and
a not loaded
plist somewhere in the contents should not cause much trouble. Also
variants
are not consequently supported as a concept in mp, so maybe it's wise to
avoid them
for now.
