Re: [microsound] Gentoo for MacOS


But why announce software like this on a public mailing list? You could just call it a virus .... see below.

"Gentoo MacOS is very new and very Alpha. Portage installs things in / and could possibly overwrite important packages that were installed by OS X. Use this technology at your own risk!"

If I want to spend my days mucking about with the computer I can go buy a Win32-box. Even more strange is that I already recompile and test my applications for Posix/X11 (i.e. Unix-version) with the stuff Apple provide with OSX (gcc, X11 and so on). This just look like just an unnecessary complication.

Thanks.

Gentoo is a highly configurable Linux distribution, THE choice for
slightly more advanced users, I might dare to state. It gives you an
unprecedented control over your system, optimising the software for your
specific setup, allowing you to define precisely what goes into the
system and what not.

see http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/about.xml for more info.

The port to OS X unleashes the power of all the nice Unix-applications
that never quite ran on OS X.


Cheers,
