Description
System: iMac [late 2015], OSX 10.14.5
Today I ran EtreCheck-5.3 on my system. EtreCheck flagged a number of files as 'unsigned'. Most all of these have been 'whitelisted' by EtreCheck. For example,
Launchd script: /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql57-server.plist Executable: /opt/local/lib/mysql57/bin/mysqld Status: Not loaded Install date: 2019-05-15 14:47:04 Details: Exact match found in the whitelist - probably OK
Others have not:
Launchd script: /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql8-server.plist Executable: /opt/local/lib/mysql8/bin/mysqld Status: Not loaded Install date: 2019-06-09 10:07:27 Details: Executable file is hidden - possibly adware
I reported the mysql8 file issue to EtreCheck. They will 'whitelist' the file.
They mentioned that unsigned files like the mysql8 launchd file will not run at all in a future version of macOS.
What to do?
Is there be some way for MacPorts to become 'blessed' by Apple?

Frank,
Sorry about that. One of these days, before I die, I may / will learn how all of this works.
Be well,
