Rudix for power users is a world class collection of pre-compiled and ready to use Unix compatible software (packages) which are not available from a standard installation of Mac OS X (or Darwin) and is very popular among other Unixes environments like GNU/Linux and FreeBSD. For example, software like wget, ncftp, lynx and many more command line tools. Rudix for system administrators and developers is a powerful and easy to customize mechanism to retrieve, compile and create native Mac OS X packages (.pkg files). Rudix is very similar in concept to BSD's ports system and is proud to keep this tradition of simplicity and elegance.
What's New:
New package manager: rudix command line tool. Now it's possible to uninstall a package doing sudo rudix -r ccache.pkg. See rudix(1) manual page for more information and usage.
New and updated packages.
Port system is more robust and improved.
Requirements:
For using the porting system the development tools (X-Code) must be installed.
It is required to setup /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin in your /etc/profile (or $HOME/.profile) in order to use the utilities.
