Ask HN: Does anybody still uses the Fink package manager?
1 point by coldtea on Dec 2, 2020 | hide | past | favorite
Back in the early days of OS X, I used to use the Fink package manager/repo for UNIX packages.

I've also tried MacPorts, and have long since (a decade or so) moved to Brew with some Nix on the side.

I see that the Fink project [1] is still active. But I rarely, if ever, see it mentioned, on HN, blog posts, etc.

Do you still use it? And if anybody has some inside info, how popularity/momentum do you think it is these days, compared to the alternatives?
