Wow, cool, how did that one slip my attention thus far? Thanks BIG
times for
the hint! I've bootstrapped it on my MacBook right away and it
works like a
charm. Guess that's a byebye to MacPorts :-)
That's sad, but I have to admit that they are really active and
getting more popular over time. It could really be a MacPorts
killer, if we don't catch up.
I'd rather have a system for compiling open source programs natively
on mac than "bring the virtues of Gentoo Linux" to my mac. Macports
gives me a way to build things on my system without (too much)
trouble. For that I'm thankful. If I wanted to bring gentoo to my
mac... well... I'd bring gentoo to it haha I'm sure there's a way...
Here's hoping macports continues forward!
