I should probably mention that the most likely reason for this is that they
had problems packaging ghc 7.8 (which is why the ghcformacosx repo was
created) and rat

That's the least of the issues. MacPorts and Homebrew, for compatibility
with the largely Linux-based packages they distribute, use GNU versions of
libiconv and libreadline instead of Apple's BSD-sourced libraries (Apple's
libreadline is BSD's libedit); since

or Homebrew? Some users regard these systems as Linux users
regard their distribution's package manager: they should be used if at
all possible. To quote a friend of mine,
