Hello, Is it possible to install both MacPorts and fink and run them side-by-side without conflict? For instance, I know that both systems install their own dependent utilities (like say python) and that both systems put those utilities in the PATH. That sounds like a recipe for conflict. Unless macports packages (for instance) religiously use absolute paths to refer to other macports packages they depend on, then I'd guess they would unintentionally call fink packages on occasion. I would like to transition to macports but I depend on so many fink packages right now it would be destabilizing to jump all at once.
