   <para>MacPorts is a system for building, installing, and managing free and

   be portable so it can work on other Unix-like systems, especially those

-  is an application that has been defined within the ports hierarchy by
-  describing its characteristics and anything required to install it within a
-  file named <filename>Portfile</filename>, so MacPorts may be used to
-  automatically fetch, patch, compile, and install the application. MacPorts
