There is only one good package manager in the world today. It’s been around for years. For those who know I don’t even have to say which package manager I’m talking about. For the rest of you. Here’s a hint it starts with a d. Once you figure it out you can quit wasting your time and work on a port and package repository for OSX.

I see no reason why you can’t use them both, Macports and Homerbew. In my eyes, these projects are complementary. You can’t get the flexibility of MacPorts in homebrew, but since Homebrew it’s build in a different way that makes sense.

If you know how to actually use shell (UNIX) paths, I don’t think there’s a problem using the defaults or even $HOME/something for HomeBrew and/or macports.

just tried all of the above suggested installs and none work with 10.5.x. just get me some *** source for the command line utility I want and I can Xcode it if the “portable” calls are twisted to fit OSX.

Ok, so I secrewed up by taking ownership of /usr/local and by chowning -R mysql:mysql /usr/local/mysql*. Now I am freaking out after reading all these threads.. How do I restore it back to the original settings? Thanks,

Actually, I shouldn’t speak ill of Macports. It did the job for a long time, but it’s really outdated in a lot of ways. Most of all, they use an arcane collaboration system, whereas if I want to submit new formulae to Homebrew, I just throw up a pull request on Github. The idea that every Macports package has a particular maintainer doesn’t sit well with me, honestly. I’d like anyone to be able to fix stuff at will instead of waiting for a blessed update.
