#28502 closed enhancement (wontfix)

rename dbus plists for removal via uninstall instructions

Reported by: sewebster@… Owned by: MarcusCalhoun-Lopez (Marcus Calhoun-Lopez)
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version:
Keywords: Cc:
Port: dbus

Description

Currently the plists created by dbus are named org.freedesktop.dbus-... These are not removed if you have a broken port command and follow the manual delete instructions in the guide http://guide.macports.org/chunked/installing.macports.uninstalling.html If these plists were listed as org.macports... then this problem would not exist. Not sure if this would cause any other problems.

Of course I forgot to cc dbus maintainer mcalhoun and now I can't edit the cc field, sorry.

This ticket has been open a while, but the issue is still relevant.

Lots of things tend to break when you mess with the dbus startup files (see e.g. #15081).

When you want to uninstall MacPorts, the guide says to run the command

sudo port -fp uninstall installed

This should uninstall any dbus related startup files.
