see homebrew, they could have made this an official thing but no, they prefer to let people work do their work for them and sleep on their mattress of cash

despicable business practices really



IIRC Apple actually helped with MacPorts in the beginning


but have they integrated homebrew, have they made it a first class citizen, have they provided money or something?

the answer is "maybe to some small extent, but not really"


MacPorts is still around and is a perfectly viable package manager, I prefer it over homebrew


actually long ago before homebrew there was MacPorts which Apple actually was part of.
