> For those that prefer not to leave a mess on their file system ... innoextract has been available on MacPorts[1] since January 2019. Speaking of making a mess, instead of somewhat vague sniping, you could have made it clear that your beef is with Homebrew, rather than risking the impression that it's with this neat Quake 1 port. Because at the moment you have the top rated comment and it looks like you're slagging off this project rather than making a potentially valid argument for Macports over Homebrew. The project author probably chose Homebrew because they already knew how to use it, it works, and they were more interested in making their Quake port than with evaluating different package managers. People make these kinds of choices all the time, particularly with side projects where they only have limited time to work on them.

It looks like you're personally attacking me rather than speaking to any argument I may have made. > The project author probably chose Homebrew because they already knew how to use it, it works, and they were more interested in making their Quake port than with evaluating different package managers. People make these kinds of choices all the time, particularly with side projects where they only have limited time to work on them. As I made no mention of the author nor the project, and no one but the author knows the reasons for their choices, this is a mind-reading fallacy wrapped in a straw man.
