Contrary to public belief, open source software is often used and packaged with OS X. A lot of pre-installed software is open-source, e.g. the compiler toolchain. For legal reasons, Apple doesn't include GPL-3 software with OS X, though. > The problem is that I do not really have a clue where to begin from, > so I am asking you for some help to get me started.

The best way to find out what MacPorts lacks is actually using it – so if you find anything that seems to be solved sub-par in your day to day usage of MacPorts, consider proposing a project for it, even if it's not on our ideas page. Other than that there is no real list of priorities for the ideas – just go through them and pick one that sounds interesting to you. -- Clemens Lang _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
