Description
The Fink initiative aims to introduce the extensive realm of Unix open-source software to Darwin and Mac OS X environments. By modifying Unix applications to ensure they compile and operate seamlessly on Mac OS X—essentially "porting" them—we provide users with a unified distribution available for download. Utilizing Debian tools such as dpkg and apt-get, Fink offers robust binary package management capabilities. Users have the flexibility to either download precompiled binary packages or opt to build everything from source code. The project supplies both precompiled binary options and a fully automated system for building from source. While Mac OS X comes with merely a fundamental set of command-line tools, Fink enhances these tools and presents a variety of graphical applications designed for Linux and other Unix systems. With Fink, the compilation process becomes entirely automated, freeing users from the complexities of Makefiles and configure scripts, along with their various parameters. Additionally, the dependency management system ensures that all necessary libraries are automatically accounted for, streamlining the overall user experience. As a result, Fink significantly enriches the software ecosystem available to Mac OS X users.
Description
The Fortran Package Manager (fpm) serves as both a package manager and a build system specifically designed for Fortran. It boasts a wide array of available packages, contributing to a vibrant ecosystem of both general-purpose and high-performance code, enhancing accessibility for users. Aimed at improving the overall experience for Fortran developers, fpm simplifies the process of building Fortran programs or libraries, executing tests, running examples, and managing dependencies for other Fortran projects. Its design draws inspiration from Rust’s Cargo, creating an intuitive user interface. Additionally, fpm has a long-term vision focused on fostering the growth of modern Fortran applications and libraries. One notable feature of fpm is its plugin system, which facilitates the extension of its capabilities. Among these plugins is the fpm-search project, which enables users to query the package registry effortlessly, and because it is built with fpm, installation on any system is straightforward. This synergy not only streamlines the development process but also encourages collaboration among developers within the Fortran community.
