Description

Fink is listed as the most prevalent package manager. Is that still true? Homebrew and Macports seem dominant now (particularly Homebrew, which most people I've seen use).

Also,

Profiling. To profile native-code programs do not compile them with the option -p (this is unsupported) simply use Shark. Shark can be invoked directly from the command line as follows :

shark -i -1 -q myprogram.opt args   
This will write a .mshark file in the directory that you can open with Shark.app.

open *.mshark  
Note that if your executable doesn't run for long enough Shark won't be able to take any samples and won't report any statistics. More function names will show up in the profiles if you compile with -g.

Seems wrong now -- I use -p on MacOS, and Shark isn't installed by default any more.
