Description

ports.7/history: Don't forget macOS!

Jordan Hubbard, one of the original authors of the FreeBSD

the idea written in TCL instead of Makefiles. Further, NetBSD's pkgsrc
is available natively on macOS. In either case, the idea of ports which
originated here spread to macOS. Note that in the HISTORY section.
