Mac OS X Binary Repositories

I know about a bunch of packaging system for Mac OS X plaftorm based on ports such as macports, fink, homebrew, pkgsrc and so on.

I was wandering if are there also binary repository for packages apt or rpm style for a quick and straightforward installation of big software with many depe开发者_开发技巧ndencies.

Any suggestion? :D

My suggestion is Rudix If you only need some basic packages. All precompiled, and management simple with easy commands. I use it with macports with no problem, always giving preference to Rudix. A wonderful design!

If you want something precompiled and a greater number of packages, I recommend that you test the project pkgin Save OS X. I'll start a test on it today.

Hope this helps. Sorry for the english.

Joyent has been building pkgsrc for Darwin/OS X for some years now and they support pkgin: https://pkgsrc.joyent.com/install-on-osx/

Fink supports binary packages but my experience some time ago was that they lagged quite a bit behind the source packages they had available. pkgsrc also supports binary packages but the ones for Darwin don't appear to have been updated for Snow Leopard (Darwin 10). If you're happy building from source pkgsrc itself works well on OS X (I use it myself).

It appears that if someone were to to a bulk package build for Mac OS X in pkgsrc the repo could be used with pkgin to get easy binary package management.
