Sorry, your attachment didn't make it through. Can you put it on JIRA or

I have edited the README to make it a bit more concise on OS X
usage. Please have a look at the attached patch.

ok, sorry, I guess I misread that. As long as you don't expect that the
service actually stays down when you invoke stop all is fine, because it
does get restarted. I found that confusing actually with launchd.

I would not claim to be an expert on macports, but I'm a maintainer of a few
ports there. I will have a look at the README and see if I find things to
suggest.

Thanks I did not realize there was a MacPort for couchdb. I've just
been following the README to install from source. Maybe the start
command is not necessary - however it's been useful to me to force a
restart. I know woefully little about MacPorts - maybe someone who's
deep into the port system could review not only the README but also
the plists file etc.

I think this change might be a reflection of my wiki edit of the
InstallMacOsX page yesterday, so I thought I comment.
The plist does not sport the OnDemand key, so by default
launchd will try to keep it running. The "start" part should not
be necessary. It does not harm either.
One confusing thing with the macports install is that there
is a huge user message in the terminal output which advertises
a plist generated by mp. That does not work, unfortunately.
The one that couchdb brings itself is fine.
I have filed a bug at mp for that: http://trac.macports.org/ticket/16947
Another inconvenience with the port is that if you forget
to install it with +server variant first, then uninstall, then reinstall,
then you end up with broken file permissions.
Other than that the port works fine for me and the test do all
pass.

It's been my experience that this has been broken for a while.
The new version seems to work for me...

Hey,
Have things changed?
When I checked in this documentation you:
* did not have to use the .plist extension, I'm sure it wouldn't even work
* loading the plist file would automatically start CouchDB
Any reason for the changes?
