> pkgsrc has several advantages over other Mac-specific package managers like MacPorts or Homebrew, especially in regards to security. I'd love to hear a bit more about what those advantages are. Other than portability (which isn't a concern for me, since 99.9% of the non-OS X flavors of Unix I use have apt), the only argument the author gives for pkgsrc over something like Homebrew is that it has "important security features". Furthermore, its setup and use looks a fair bit more complex than Homebrew, making it seem less appealing without having the context the author clearly does. I enjoyed the article, and think it's awesome to know that alternatives to MacPorts/Brew exist, but I'm much more interested in the promised follow-up article about the actual security features of pkgsrc and what makes it worth installing.
