Unfortunately Portage on Mac doesn't have many packages packages in it yet (most stuff is masked) - its just too new. As a Mac (laptop) user myself I would love to see it mature. Right now, the only alternative is Fink (fink.sourceforge.net) but its based on Debian's APT package system. I held off on installing either of them until Gentoo on Mac has more packages (and also partly because Im sure Tiger will be out in a few months). > I'll have to write Daniel Ostrow and see how that has progressed since > January. I suspect that he's made lots of progress. Hopefully you'll report back to this list...? :-) -- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
