The same can be said for a fair chunk of the software in MacPorts. Some of us prefer not to have to chase down and (possibly build and) install every single piece of software ourselves. That's the *point* of MacPorts. There are lots of other advantages to MacPorts than the ease of finding the software -- for instance, we have a unified framework for uninstalling and upgrading, keeping your system up to date and free of cruft, and a system of dependencies. it's great that an application has a good installer; MacPorts takes the perspective of thousands of applications interacting over time. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh                               sine nomine associates allber...@gmail.com                                  ballb...@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad        http://sinenomine.net _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
