I’ve been playing around with MacPorts and I have installed nsd as an
authoritative DNS server. (unbound doesn’t handle CNAME, so it is either use
BIND or have both nsd and unbound)
unbound comes with a LaunchDaemon plist, nsd doesn’t. So my first mod looks to
be that I will have to change the portfile to include startupitem information.
As I understand it:
I need to edit
/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/macports/release/tarballs/ports/net/nsd/Portfile
(with port edit) and add the startup item stuff there directly (copy original
to Portfile.orig first of course). Questions: If I do that, will not MacPorts
overwrite my modified Portfile in some scenarios? Will port edit create the
Portfile.orig?
And everything I need to do for this change can be done by modifying the
Portfile.
And what I gather from the documentation that I can offer the diff later as an
improvement.
Correct?
It seems to me I just have to add this to the Portfile:
startupitem.create yes
startupitem.name nsd
startupitem.start "${prefix}/sbin/nsd"
startupitem.stop "/bin/kill \$(cat ${prefix}/var/run/${name}/nsd.pid)"
