I don't think that Gentoo Prefix poses a real threat at this time, at least not until an Aqua installer and pre-built bootstrap images are available which make prior installation of Apple's Developer Tools obsolete. However, this will happen eventually which is good as it gives users more options to choose from - and competition thrives innovation. No need to make this thread a "Is MacPorts dead?" one. ;-) But for people like me who administer Gentoo Linux servers, it's a real bliss to have the power of Portage around - feels like home. @Michael: Gentoo Prefix is just as native as MacPorts. The only real differences are that it relies on the rock-solid Portage/Ebuilds rather than a new kid on the block, and that it compiles it's own compiler (which will make the Developer Tools obsolete at some point). -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Resolving-dependencies-tp17124856p17144860.html Sent from the MacPorts - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
