I haven't used homebrew, but I do like how "the Homebrew tool-chain is carefully segregated so you can build stuff by hand but still end up with package management." From what I understand, MacPorts can't do this. It does look like you can do this with Fink (see http://finkers.wordpress.com/2009/07/24/creating-local-packages/) , but it's pretty cumbersome. One major downside that homebrew has, however, is the lack dependency resolution and update support. It does seem to help you get chicks, though. – Garrett Hyde -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
