Why not use MacPorts, which currently supports all the way back to Leopard, has far more packages than Homebrew, has a better design, and was created by the creator of the original FreeBSD ports system who also worked on Apple's UNIX team?
The ubiquity of Homebrew continues to confound me.

- massysett 8mo agoI switched to Homebrew after years of Macports because Macports required me to laboriously upgrade all the ports with each major macOS update. Homebrew does not require this. I understand the better design of Macports but in the end Homebrew works well enough and saves much time annually without the need for the manual upgrade.
