@ryan I only can speak about my experience with FreeBSD Ports.
In my opinion the work you have to put in for (administrating) compiling software and the benefits you are getting out of it are hard unbalanced. In today's time software is a lot module based. I know from my gentoo time that compiling an own kernel didn't speed up anything... at least if we use an initramfs image to load modules. However it is always good to have alternatives ;) Am 04.08.2012 um 00:47 schrieb Ryan Schmidt <google-2...@ryandesign.com>: > Speaking as a manager of the MacPorts project I am clearly biased, but as far > as I can tell nodejs works fine when installed by MacPorts, so use whichever > you prefer. > > On Aug 3, 2012, at 03:56, kyogron <kyog...@googlemail.com> wrote: > >> I would now like to know if choosing Homebrew over MacPorts was a good >> decision and if there are other things to mention about using node under OSX > > -- > Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ > Posting guidelines: > https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google > Groups "nodejs" group. > To post to this group, send email to nodejs@googlegroups.com > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > nodejs+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/nodejs?hl=en?hl=en -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
