[Xastir] Running Xastir on Apple OSX

[Stephen - K1LNX]

Sounds good :) Should be fairly easy to get up and running based on this.

Does OSX have a package management system? For example, anytime I compile
something from source on my Ubuntu boxes, I always create a .deb file using
checkinstall and install it using dpkg so I can easily remove it later if
need be, does OSX have something similar?

tnx
