I have released Phynchronicity 2.3, my 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 2.3 adds the following improvements and features: * Significantly faster application startup: now reads from cached list of Fink packages. Only queries Fink database after installing, removing, or updating a Fink package or Fink itself. * Configure Fink in Terminal using a menu command. * Can now print log output to default printer. * Now uses integrated help viewer. * Saves window position on application close. Phynchronicity is shareware; a license costs $24.95 and a 30-day demo is available. Mac OS X 10.4 is the minimum supported OS. Phynchronicity is a universal binary.
