Overview:

Port Authority is an application that provides a graphical user
interface for the DarwinPorts package management system for Mac OS X.
DarwinPorts is a powerful command-line tool for installing and updating
a variety of Unix-based applications for the Mac. Its power, though,
comes at the cost of some complexity; in the past the only way to
utilize DarwinPorts was to type in various commands into the Mac's
Terminal application, which can be intimidating for those users without
a Unix background.

Port Authority aims to bring the power of DarwinPorts to the traditional
Mac users by providing an Aqua-native, user-friendly graphical interface
to DarwinPorts. Using a familiar combination of windows, icons, and
menus, Port Authority users can search, install, update, and remove
DarwinPorts programs and the DarwinPorts infrastructure itself.

To install, just download and move the application to your /Applications
directory. Delete your old /Applications/DGUI folder and make sure that
Port Authority is in the main /Applications folder.

What's New:

Version 0.4 is a major update that merges the functionality provided by
three programs (collectively known as DPGUI) into a single application.
You can now manage both DarwinPorts packages and the DarwinPorts
infrastructure itself from Port Authority. Support for the initial
installation of DarwinPorts is no longer provided because DarwinPorts
now comes with a point-and-click binary installer.

Port Authority now makes use of the Apple Help system, meaning that you
can now search our help documents to get the exact answer to your
question about Port Authority or DarwinPorts in general. As before, user
help for both Port Authority and updated DarwinPorts documentation is
included.
