[R-SIG-Mac] package management system: Fink vs MacPorts?

[Christian Kleiber]

Dear all,

I am currently configuring a Mac Pro running SL.

https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-mac/2009-September/006468.html

suggests there are issues with Fink.

I am familiar with building R packages but I have never built R
from source (this might change, however). Question: any strong
opinions re Fink vs MacPorts? Or other solutions? (I have been using
Fink on my laptop for some time without problems but then I never built R
from source.)

Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

Best,
Christian Kleiber
