If I am not mistaken, Porticus worked by screen-scraping the output out of the port utility. I don't think this approach is feasible. > If there is some interest in hosting and reviving the code of Porticus > here on MacOSForge, I could actively participate. We have the MacPorts.app GUI (also known as Pallet), where most of the work was done in previous editions of Google Summer of Code. Beside that, it has not seen many contributions and it might already got some incompatibilities with the Cocoa API as of OS X 10.7. It uses the MacPorts.framework, which is meant as an Objective-C interface to the macports Tcl package. The MacPorts internal API isn't stable and some changes have been introduced in the port cli client which are missing from this framework.
