Hi Randall,
I have a MacPorts build on a portable firewire/USB drive and on this
drive is a Python app that starts Apache and MySQL and then points a
browser at the local running Apache.
So given that the Apache is on a portable drive, when I build the port,
I don't need the startupitem, hence the variant.
BTW, MySQL doesn't enable the automatic startup of the server unless the
+server variant is supplied.
Regards,
Blair

Is this +no_startupitem variant really smart?
I recently had a request to add a +without_startupitem variant to a port
I maintain and rejected the request; since startupitems simply enable a
port to be started at boot time, but do not cause a port to be booted at
start time, it simply seems stupid to deliberately cripple a server port
such that a user would have to reinstall it if they wanted to start the
port at boot time later.
BTW: If the variant is to be retained, can it be named
+without_startupitem instead?
