I've never used it, but Fink (http://www.finkproject.org/ http://www.finkproject.org/) is basically apt for OSX.
- ekidd 16y agoWhen I last used Fink (years ago), it was "apt for OS X" in roughly the same way that an off-brand Android tablet is an iPad: It looks more or less like the same thing, but you just don't get the same experience. Does anyone use Fink these days?
- Groxx 16y agoI occasionally look, and see squat. I think everyone's gone to MacPorts, though Homebrew is gaining a bit of traction; enough to be useful, nowhere near enough to be reliable.
- jamie_ca 16y agoI've been perfectly happy in my little corner of the developer landscape (mostly Rails, plus random experiments) with Homebrew. I've had friends of mine complain loudly after ~5 minutes when they find missing "essential" packages, though.
