    I agree about dp. Although I used it only to get Ruby and subversion onto my iBook.

      Specificly to do with TCL, me and ports...

      I know Perl. I don't know TCL. I can (and have) patched fink. I can't patch port (and it needs patching) without a lot of work. This is highly inconvenient to me and effects my choice.
