    List MacPorts packages installed by `port install` by

    port installed requested

    More package managers need the ability to simply list explicitly-installed packages (looking at you, apt!)

    Recently switched from Homebrew to MacPorts. Neded to use it to install git-crypt on an old Sequoia Macbook Air which Homebrew now longer supports. Feels more stable and solid than brew, and seems to have fewer, more targeted dependencies per-package.

    Kudos to the MacPorts developers for the courage to use `port -N install` to answer yes to all the confirmation questions and `port -y install` to not install anything.

    @Migueldeicaza I'm not that ambitious: Just checking that the tool chain for #MacPorts still works.

    Spent the entire day building a modern *nix ecosystem for the 12" 1.5GHz #PowerbookG4 with the new #SSD drive.

    #MacPorts is such a great tool and community with archives for atleast some prebuilt packages.
    Thanks!

    Just tested G'MIC-Qt 3.7.6 on Mac via MacPorts: noticeable filter speed improvements observed compared to previous version. 🚀

    Many thanks to the MacPorts maintainers for keeping the gmic-gimp port up to date so fast! 🙏 #GMIC #MacPorts

    Because the 12" Powerbooks uses Nvidia GPU they are a bit more complicated than the 15" and 17" with ATI/AMD. But it can be done. During the 6 years it was my main computer back in the days it was popular to run OpenBSD on them.

    Though I plan to use #macports to compile/install a modern *nix ecosystem onto #OSX 10.5 Leopard. WIth a modern GCC, OpenSSL, OpenSSH, Rust, Python etc.

    There's a modern browser #Powerfox that works great.

    Azure lacks broader infra support. 8 years on CLI still has considerable gaps. github.com/Azure/azure-cli/iss #MacPorts #Azure #Microsoft #CloudComputing
