DarwinPorts or Fink...

What does the list prefer and why?

Has anyone tried out pkgsrc?

I used to use fink but all of the packages I used got very out of date, and the newer versions were only in the unstable branch (latest php or postgres) so I switched to DarwinPorts.

Also if DarwinPorts is now MacPorts then why are both http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/ and http://www.macports.org/ both operational? Shouldn't the darwinports site be removed if it is just old stuff? Or at least it should have a not pointing you to the newer macports site?
