| 251 | | == Hanging commands on Mountain Lion == #mtln-hangs |
| 252 | | |
| 253 | | '''Symptom''' |
| 254 | | |
| 255 | | Running MacPorts 2.1.3 or older under a root login shell on Mountain |
| 256 | | Lion may hang indefinitely; this is due to |
| 257 | | [http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#releasenotes/CoreFoundation/CoreFoundation.html certain changes in CoreFoundation]. |
| 258 | | A workaround has been [[changeset:104118|committed to trunk]] and is |
| 259 | | available as of the release of MacPorts 2.2.0. |
| 260 | | |
| 261 | | '''Workaround''' |
| 262 | | |
| 263 | | The recommended way to avoid this issue is to avoid running MacPorts in |
| 264 | | root login shells. Non-login root shells are fine. |
| 265 | | ||= =||= DO =||= DON’T =|| |
| 266 | | ||= Non-interactive =|| `sudo port …`\\`su -c port …` || `su - -c port …` || |
| 267 | | ||= Interactive =|| `sudo -s`\\`su`\\`login -l root` || `sudo -i`\\`sudo su -`\\`sudo su -l`\\`su -`\\`su -l`\\`login root` || |
| 268 | | |
| 269 | | If you absolutely must use a root login shell, you can |
| 270 | | 1. update your MacPorts installation to version 2.2.0 with `sudo port selfupdate`, or |
| 271 | | 1. [[howto/RunningTrunk|run MacPorts from trunk]], or |
| 272 | | 2. work around the problem by setting !__CFPREFERENCES_AVOID_DAEMON to “1” in the environment and configuring MacPorts to preserve it in macports.conf: |
| 273 | | {{{ |
| 274 | | extra_env __CFPREFERENCES_AVOID_DAEMON |
| 275 | | }}} |
| 276 | | Note that using `extra_env` is unsupported. |
