Hello Dónal, You wrote: I prefer Homebrew because it installs everything into /local/library/Celar, and then sym-links into /usr/local/bin. this makes removing software much easier than with macports.
Thanks for your reply. I shall have to look at homebrew. However, disk space isn't an issue so removal isn't a problem. Therefore, I haven't looked at it thoroughly. But I understood Macports to install in /opt/local/…. and the user's .profile adds the path varible. So I don't think that there would be any dangling symlinks to be left on the system. There's the issue of ejecting the CD when finished I haven't cracked to satisfaction yet. We can use: # drutil tray eject But I'd rather abcde manages it as it does on GNU Linux. Happy hacking!
