Chris,
I think putting BoxBackup in a repository for the Mac is a great idea! Not
having much experience with Mac repositories I would like to know why you
choose Fink instead of Ports? I'm trying to choose right now for my own
systems and would like some input from others as to what they think.
Traditionally I am a Debian man and APT is just way cool and I think Fink is
closer to this model than Ports. So I'm currently leaning toward Fink but I
don't know enough about Ports to really make a decision.
Thanx!
Richard

Chris,<br><br>I think putting BoxBackup in a repository for the Mac is a great idea! Not having much experience with Mac repositories I would like to know why you choose Fink instead of Ports? I'm trying to choose right now for my own systems and would like some input from others as to what they think. Traditionally I am a Debian man and APT is just way cool and I think Fink is closer to this model than Ports. So I'm currently leaning toward Fink but I don't know enough about Ports to really make a decision.
