FYI, “port info” tells you what’s available, not what’s installed. “port installed” tells you what you actually have installed. > There is only one zero-length file in /opt/local/var/log/mariadb, > rather curiously named something like ".turd_mariadb_server". No > actual log text. This is not curious. MacPorts uses empty .turd files to mark directories that should not be deleted. (During installs, MacPorts deletes directories that are empty; by putting a .turd file (or any file) in a directory, this makes it non-empty so MacPorts doesn’t delete it.) The command used in Portfiles to create .turd files is destroot.keepdirs. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
