> When couchdb is running in foreground, then the option flags -o and -e are not honoured. This probably quite ok on most systems because foregroud there equals roughly to development mode. On the mac this is different, because fork and daemoinze calls are deprecated, services are managed using launchd, and launchd watches these processes directly. It depends on these processes not (double-)forking and intentionally dying.
> So in the current state of things the provided plist starts couchdb, quite consequentially does not use -o/e and. That works, but has the effect that couchdb writes to stdout, which launchd apparently forwards to syslog. So the syslog ends up being hogged by access-log level messages. And it is not possible to avoid that by simply editing the quasi config file .plist.
> I will attach a patch which changes bin/couchdb, .plist, and etc/Makefile.am to make this work more like I reckon it should.
