Macports and Fink

Recently I came by two very useful tools for MacOSX : Macports and Fink. Macports enables to port many open source applications to MacOSX very safely. It checks the dependencies and installs them when needed. It also supports updates for the installed packages. Fink is a package manager with a nice interface. It is useful to see the state of the installed software.

Macports is available at : http://www.macports.org
Fink : www.finkproject.org/
