Why does this need to be there:
if {"darwin" == ${os.platform} && ${os.major} > 8} {
set mysqluser _mysql
} else {
set mysqluser mysql
}
$sudo chown mysql:mysql something
-rw-r--r-- 1 _mysql _mysql 0 Jan 6 19:59 something
$sudo chown me:me something
$sudo chown _mysql:_mysql something
-rw-r--r-- 1 _mysql _mysql 0 Jan 6 19:59 something
Seems to be, you can pretty safely just use mysql, and not worry about it.
In the destroot phase, it looks like a mysql user and group is being added. I
do not see any OS level conditions there, why is this happening? mysql has
been a built in user on OS X since I believe 10.3, which should be about as far
back as MacPorts is going to support?
Why don't we chown the dirs for the user so they need not do so?

Step 3
sudo -u mysql mysql_install_db5
sudo chown -R mysql:mysql /opt/local/var/db/mysql5/
sudo chown -R mysql:mysql /opt/local/var/run/mysql5/
sudo chown -R mysql:mysql /opt/local/var/log/mysql5/
If that doesn’t work try this:
sudo mysql_install_db5
sudo chown -R mysql:mysql /opt/local/var/db/mysql5/
sudo chown -R mysql:mysql /opt/local/var/run/mysql5/
First, what would cause the first set of steps to fail, and what can we do to
make sure they do not? Second, other than the `mysql_install_db5`, I believe
the rest of that work should be done in the Portfile, unless there is good
reason not to.
Thanks for any comments
