Which would be a lot more credible as a comment if he'd given any indication at all that he knew which package managers were available on a Mac, and giving specific examples of packages that are 'out-of-date' and by how much.
Instead, there was a throw-away one-liner, which gives the impression that he doesn't know what he's actually talking about. All of which is to say that I personally think that the person you responded to had read the post, and came away with the same impression as me - that perhaps the OP needs some pointers in the right direction.
- nailer 18y agoThe generally accepted wisdom is that more OSS is developed, and thus available, on Linux than other platforms. Since you're challenging that, the burden of proof is on you. I'm not the OP, but why not try listing the total amount of packages in macports, then listing the total amount in Ubuntu universe, and then deciding for yourself?
- demallien 18y agoThe post you're responding to is making the point that the impression the OP gives is that he doesn't know what he is talking about, not that the Mac has more OSS than Linux - you don't seem to have read it.
- nailer 18y agoI thought he was saying that the Mac has the same amount of OSS software available for it as Linux. If it doesn't, and you agree with the OP, fine. Stop trying to say it does.
