The MacPorts Project -- Home

The MacPorts Project -- Home: "he MacPorts Project is an open-source community initiative to design an easy-to-use system for compiling, installing, and upgrading either command-line, X11 or Aqua based open-source software on the Mac OS X operating system. To that end we provide the command-line driven MacPorts software package under a BSD License, and through it easy access to thousands of ports that greatly simplify the task of compiling and installing open-source software on your Mac.

We provide a single software tree that attempts to track the latest release of every software title (port) we distribute, without splitting them into “stable” Vs. “unstable” branches, targeting mainly the current Mac OS X release (10.7, A.K.A Lion) and the immediately previous one (10.6, A.K.A. Snow Leopard). There are currently 13079 ports in our tree, distributed among 95 different categories, and more are being added on a regular basis."
