There doesn't seem to be an error message from the add_users line
but when I use xinstall in the pre-activate phase, it complains
there is no such group. Also, in System Preferences->Accounts, my
user doesn't show up. (It should, right?)
If you want to see the full Portfile (with these bits commented-out), go to:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/26787680/Portfile.MythTV.2012May16
Just checking: you purposefully commented-out the add_users lines
after having run it and not had it commented the whole time, right?
:-)
Right--I may be new but even I know that commented-out lines don't execute! ;)

addgroup and adduser functions. Are these deprecated?
Correct.
