rsync @3.0.8 +2nd instance attempts to override 1st instance of org.macports.rsyncd.plist

Description

I'm trying to setup a seconds instance of macport so I'm able to attempt to start contributing to mac ports. I did the following and found that rsync doesn't appear to use the --prefix specified at configure.

PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin ; export PATH;
MP_PREFIX=/Users/john/tmp/macports-test ;
sudo rm -rf $MP_PREFIX ;
mkdir $MP_PREFIX ;
./configure --prefix=$MP_PREFIX --with-applications-dir=$MP_PREFIX/Applications ;
make ;
sudo make install ;
PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:$MP_PREFIX/bin ; export PATH;
sudo port -v selfupdate ;
sudo port install git-core ;

I get the following error.

--->  Activating rsync @3.0.8_1
Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.rsyncd.plist already exists and does not belong to a registered port.  Unable to activate port rsync. Use 'port -f activate rsync' to force the activation.

This is not specific to the rsync port, you need to disable the creation of startup items in this second macports installation.

Edit your ${prefix}/etc/macports/macports.conf accordingly:

startupitem_type none
