We use MacPorts for a large software system that is Mac and Linux at
the moment, and our group is considering using MacPorts for managing
our Linux dependencies, as well.
So we'd perhaps "port" MacPorts to Linux.
And also see the wine port again, LDFLAGS like "-framework" won't work
on other platforms... As platform is set to "darwin", I think this is
okay, but contrary to your statement above.
Exactly what the "platform" tag is designed to do: we'd add "platform
linux" stanzas to our ports, that would (of course) not have settings
like "-framework" in them. Many (if not most) open-source packages
already target linux successfully, so in most cases autoconf would
determine the correct settings. I think.
We haven't started a Linux port in earnest yet.
Of course, I'm one of those nut jobs who tried to bring gentoo
portage to Mac OS X about five years ago. Oy.
