Could you expand on what is better about macoorts over brew? I quickly got onto the Macports page and saw first off that sudo is needed for updating itself and second that I have to select the right version for my OS: Brew is a single install that does not require sudo to update so there’s a few things that already make Brew more appealing for me. What does MacPorts do better?
