Why Not MacPorts?

Why Compile From Source?
========================
Since we only target Intel Leopard boxes, why not just distribute binaries?
Well, I can't afford too :P And compiling from source gives more flexibility.

How do I Notify Someone that a Package is out of Date?
======================================================
Chances are that if the package hasn't been updated for a few days, then the

other packaging system ever, it's easy with Homebrew:
1. Edit the relevant ruby file in +/recipes
2. Fork Homebrew on github
1. Edit the relevant ruby file in /Brewery/Formula
2. Fork Homebrew on github (or generate a patch)
3. Send mxcl a pull request
