can't beat homebrew imo

• bagels 3y ago
  Isn't homebrew the one that always wants to update everything all the time?

    Yep. Especially fun when Homebrew doesn't provide binaries for your OS anymore and you have to compile the latest version of Rust from source just to get ripgrep.

      MacPorts might be a better fit for older versions of macOS.

          Whatever floats your boat :) I like Homebrew but good alternatives can’t hurt!

            Homebrew does not sign commits, code reviews, or artifacts so just be aware you are giving thousands of randos access to run anything they want on your system.

      Or when it replaces an old version of a library with a new, not backwards compatible version, behind your back and breaks stuff.

  You can! It’s called MacPorts and it was created by an ex-Apple employee and the creator of the original FreeBSD ports system. It’s better in almost every way, plus it has more packages.
