- radicality 8mo agoI use brew but willing to try out Macports. How come the package install instructions seem to require sudo under macports? Does that not carry more risk during the install ?
- marxisttemp 8mo agoBecause it requires access to /opt/local. It drops down to the macports user for all the actual fetching and management.
