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!
