  Same response to macports below: Not-Invented-Here syndrome. I suspect they've got the same problem others do: a case of NIH, without the resources to invent it themselves. Ugh.

    FWIW, macports is linked to from http://macosforge.org/ http://macosforge.org/ - which is open source stuff hosted by Apple and worked on by Apple engineers for the most part.

    Apple actually had one of the old-time Debian guys, Klee Dienes, for a number of years, starting way back in 1997. I guess he wasn't successful in convincing them to do things properly.
