Code by Kevin has released Phynchronicity 3.0, a GUI for the Fink Unix-software package management system on Mac OS X.
Phynchronicity provides a graphical user interface for Fink, a powerful command-line tool for installing and updating thousands of Unix-based applications for the Mac. But Fink's sheer power and scale make it hard to use, even with a GUI. Phynchronicity aims to make Fink easy to use. Unlike other GUI tools for Fink, it does not overwhelm the user with options. Instead, with a simple three-pane interface, it lets users get started doing what they want to do--finding, installing, and removing packages. Phynchronicity 3.0 adds the following improvements and features: * Now built on the Cocoa frameworks. * Updated user interface includes more modern button styles. * Context-sensitive popup menu in table display. * Now checks for Fink installation on startup and notifies user if Fink not found. * Better experience for first-time users; fewer popup dialogs, smoother startup. * Faster, more intuitive help viewer. Phynchronicity is shareware; a license costs $24.95 and a 30-day demo is available. Mac OS X 10.5 is the minimum supported OS. Phynchronicity is a universal binary.
