Fink for Mac 0.90

About Fink for Mac

Fink for Mac is a project that wants to bring the full world of Unix Open Source software to Darwin and Mac OS X. As a result, we have two main goals. First, to modify existing Open Source software so that it will compile and run on Mac OS X. (This process is called porting.) Second, to make the results available to casual users as a coherent, comfortable distribution that matches what Linux users are used to. (This process is called packaging.)

More Description from Publisher:

Fink for Mac relies on the excellent package management tools produced by the Debian project - dpkg, dselect and apt-get. Fink adds its own package manager, named (surprise!) fink. You can view fink as a build engine - it takes package descriptions and produces binary .deb packages from that. In the process, Fink for Mac downloads the original source code from the Internet, patches it as necessary, then goes through the whole process of configuring and building the package. Finally, Fink for Mac wraps the results up in a package archive that is ready to be installed by dpkg. Fink manages a separate directory tree and provides the infrastructure to make it easy to use.

Why use Fink for Mac?

Power: Mac OS X includes only a basic set of command line tools. Fink brings you enhancements for these tools as well as a selection of graphical applications developed for Linux and other Unix variants.

Convenience: With Fink the compile process is fully automated; you'll never have to worry about Makefiles or configure scripts and their parameters again.

Safety: Fink's strict non-interference policy makes sure that the vulnerable parts of you Mac OS X system are not touched.

Coherence:There's a unified interface to control server processes.

Flexibility: Fink gives you the freedom to install XFree86 or other X11 so
