tao @ 6.2.6 Problem installing pre-built binary

[lockhart (Thomas Lockhart)]

It is great to see pre-built binaries for the tao port. However, the .plist file for starting the daemon is not found since it apparently is looking for it in the build directory. The workaround is to install from source using "port install -s tao". Details below. I'll work on a patch for this but marked this as "haspatch" since a patch is coming and I can't change that field later.

Have you had a chance to work on this patch?

Looking at it now. It seems to be simple, but it is not clear from other Portfile examples where the preferred location of the .plist file is. I see /Library/LaunchDaemons/, /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/, /opt/local/Library/LaunchDaemons/, and /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ in various portfiles. So which is it??

I'm going with /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/ for now since that was used in the original Portfile. If the path is changed then the Portfile will need some special-case checks for the other location. Let me know if this path is not preferred.

Install server startup script from port contents rather than from worksrcpath. This should fix the problem with installing from a pre-built binary.
