Nope. At least, not to my knowledge. Plus, Quicktime is bulky.

t3h: It's actually under a lot of development. You should swing by their IRC channel.

Nice for unix guys like myself who have gotten used to having a huge repository of packages at their fingertips. MacPorts is probably better if you only want to install a few tools, or don't want the fink overhead and don't mind the smaller selection.
I agree on the slow build vs. old package thing, although I usually just go for the old package which runs fine.

Great solution for a person used to Linux packaging system (Debian in particular) who switched to Mac. I use many more command line tools besides those shipped with Mac OS X and I can't imagine installing and updating those manually - with Fink you can avoid wasting your time on this.

This app is great for shell scripts.

It really saved me when my Address Book dissapeared.

Handy tool when you need to extract stuff from pkg and mpkg installers- very useful when hunting for binaries on the install disk.

helped me to downgrade from quicktime 7.4 to 7.3.1 (QT 7.4 makes lotsa audio/video applications crash). great!

Hapu: It's intended for personal development. Living-E, the company that makes MAMP, is going to release a deployment version. Note: It's kinda out of date on it's PHP version (5.x.x development branch).

Really nice to test and work on websites before publishing. Really easy to use.

seems the download link has changed to http://mamp.info/en/download.html

This is a real gift. Prior to finding MAMP I had considered setting up all of the various parts to run a test localhost, this is just drag and drop simplicity.

There are a couple of caveats, the databases are stored in the central MAMP folder so you have to copy or move these before upgrading - or lose everything, as daft-me did. And the file permissions have to be just so, somehow I managed to mess them up on the last upgrade, that and something else I managed to do, meant I had to re-download.

MAMP really should come as standard with Mac OS X, many thanks to living-e.

Could this be confused with http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs2/english/maintenance.html?

Hmmm... yeah, the inability to have same-named apps here is a bit annoying.

In any case, anyone have a preference one way or another?

I recommend Maintenance 1.1.5 from Titanium as mentioned below

I think Maintenance 1.1.5 is the more recent one, so it should be used here.

It's excellent for getting a rails app started, but once you get going, it fails once you need to ./script/generate controller s

It's a very handy way to get Rails working in a hurry. And Androse, did you know you can use gem from inside the Locomotive terminal windows to install new gems into Locomotive?

Not to bash fink, I use it all the time. It's just that for some purposes, Locomotive is handier.
