mxcl's homebrew at master - GitHub

I shared this on my Google Reader share the other day, but before I had really had a chance to try it out.  But now I have had the chance, and I have to say, I am pretty impressed with it so far.  For the packages I’ve installed with it so far, it has hands down beaten Fink and MacPorts in simplicity, ease of use, and minimizing the amount of crap on my machine.  In fact, it’s convinced me to stop installing things via configure, make, make install and to use this instead.

If you have a Intel MacOS X machine running Leopard or Snow Leopard, you should check Homebrew out.  If you’ve already committed yourself to Fink or MacPorts, you should still check Homebrew out.  And if you are still compiling packages by hand as I was, you definitely need to check Homebrew out.
