FYI, I just installed duplicity and rdiff-backup through Homebrew and it worked flawlessly. Agree that MacPorts is crap. But Homebrew is actually pretty good.

- statictype 15y agoThanks. Will try it. Edit: Yup, flawless installation and fast. Thanks again! I wish I had found this when I was trying to re-install Python Imaging Library after upgrading to Lion. I might have saved half a day.
- nupark2 15y agoI just ran: sudo port install duplicity sudo port install rdiff-backup Worked flawlessly, too. MacPorts isn't crap just because it isn't -- for whatever reason -- what you want.
- pja 15y agoLast time I looked, Homebrew wasn't even trying to deal with conflicting dependencies, or any of the other hard corner cases of package management. MacPorts at least makes a decent effort on that front. Has it improved recently?
