Downloads - deb Packages for MacOS X

In these archives you will find deb packages of some Open Source UNIX software for MacOS X 10.x which (unlike a lot of other UNIX inherited software):

1. Do not install anything into MacOS X system directories (except XFree86 windowing system which in most cases is not mandatory to install);
2. Do not alter system files;
3. Are very easy to remove;
4. Installed files (except dot files) are visible in MacOS X Finder.

Everything will be installed into "/sw" directory on the root level of your startup volume.

All packages created with Fink, a port of the package management system from Debian/GNU Linux (one of the most powerful and advanced this days) for MacOS X.

Fink tutorial for beginners (Safe and Happy UNIX Hacking with MacOS X) is available here.
