Switching to homebrew

Finally @MSch convinced me that homebrew is the future on mac os package manager, and i switched. It was surprisingly simple, and i was able to clean up all those (around 200) installed ports from macports.
sudo port -f uninstall installed
sudo rm -rf \
/opt/local \
/Applications/DarwinPorts \
/Applications/MacPorts \
/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.* \
/Library/Receipts/DarwinPorts*.pkg \
/Library/Receipts/MacPorts*.pkg \
/Library/StartupItems/DarwinPortsStartup \
/Library/Tcl/darwinports1.0 \
/Library/Tcl/macports1.0 \
~/.macports
So, after you are clean from MacPorts legacy, give homebrew a kickstart with smeagol!
git clone http://github.com/atmos/smeagol
EDITOR="vim" \
GITHUB_USER="fightclub" \
GITHUB_TOKEN="..." \
EMAIL="tyler@paperstreetsoap.com" \
FULLNAME="Tyler Durden" \
rake smeagol:install
Now u’re ready for node.js, ruby and co!
