Brand new Mac, should I use Macports?
macos, macports, package-managers
Solution
Try homebrew. It's really good because it's highly optimized, and has no redundant packages.
It's also built in Ruby, which seems particularly relevant to you.
Problem
got a new mac, need to have it setup ready for development. I heard great things about macports, should i use it? Is it really easier than manually download and compile? anyone has any problems using it? It is for typical ruby web development stuff. thanks
