Hello

In addition to Homebrew, could you support MacPorts as a distribution method?

Homebrew is widely used by freelancers but is a complete mess to use at scale with managed fleet of Macs. And the Homebrew team repeatedly shown disrespect to Apple guidelines leading their system to break other software on the device.

Homebrew has a long history of issue proving it's not an enterprise grade distribution system unlike MacPorts.

With support for MacPorts, Mac Admins would also be able to generate a pkg from your port to distribute it via fleet management solution, without the need of a port solution on the endpoint.

That would be a really great addition to the long standing reference mogenerator.

And thanks a lot for your work!

I'd be happy to support MacPorts, but I don't use it, and this would require someone to provide a Pull Request to add support and ensure it works.
