Gentoo's Portage to be Ported to Mac OS X

Posted by pudge on from the more-options-more-better dept.

billatq writes "I love Mac OS X, but I'm also a fan of running Gentoo Linux because of its powerful package management system. A Debian-style system (fink) is already on Mac OS X, but now it seems that Gentoo's Portage is going to be available for it. Gentoo's announcement can be found on their web site. I can't wait until we see what the Gentoo team has prepared."

    The only diff between portage and fink is one is from GenToo and one is from Debian. They are just distribution packaging systems. Nothing more, nothing less.

    The only thing this adds is variety, and competition. It's not filling a particular hole.
