Newbie here: how it is different from Pallet?
Pallet makes use of the MacPorts_Framework, the official way to
interact with the Tcl-based APIs by the Cocoa programs.
MacPorts_Framework is broken, no?
JPortsUI parses directly the output of the ‘port’ command
(“screen scraping”) and could stop working if a new release of
the command would change the output format even for simple aesthetic
reasons.
PortAuthority has used this approach for over a decade. In that time the
output of "port" has changed just once, and adjusting it was fairly simple.
