Sapphire: Rust based package manager for macOS
Found it because I was curious: https://github.com/Homebrew/legacy-homebrew/commit/29d85578e...
Here are the comparisons to other package managers:
> Packages are brewed in individual, versioned kegs. Then symlinks are created to give a normal POSIX tree. This way the filesystem is the package database. Everything else is now easy. We are made of win.
vs MacPorts registry which used its own homebrewed (lol) Receipts files in 2009, and now uses a SQLite DB: https://guide.macports.org/chunked/internals.registry.html#i...
> I wouldn't worry about it not being root. We don't install anything base enough for it to be a concern (unlike MacPorts or Fink).
vs MacPorts installs to `/opt/local` as root.
> Why Not MacPorts?
> =================
> 1. MacPorts installs its own libz, its own openssl, etc. It is an autarky.
> This makes no sense to me. OS X comes with all that shit.
> 2. MacPorts support Tiger, and PPC. We don't, so things are better optimised.
There is no “Why Not Fink?” section.
And because I didn't know the word autarky: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/autarky
