MacPorts design (curiosity)

[Jason Swails]

Hey,

What was the inspiration behind the MacPorts design?  Were ideas borrowed
from a specific Linux package manager (the portage system seems pretty
similar).  I like MacPorts as my Mac package manager, and would love to
check out a Linux distro's package manager that inspired it (if such a one
exists).

Just curious.

Thanks!
Jason
