MacPorts 2.0 with Lion support now available

I've been a happy homebrew user since it launched - anyone care to comment on the benefits/improvements of MacPorts V2 over homebrew?

Familiarity in my case -- for my legacy Mac servers I'm sticking with what both I and my boxen know. :) New servers will all be running Linux, so it'll be with the package manager for that distro, likely Debian.

MacPorts 2.0 fixed all of the issues that I was having under Lion with 1.9.0. Thanks for upgrading guys! :)

To upgrade, make sure you install Xcode 4.1 via the App Store (free). That'll provide GCC. After:

    $ sudo port selfupdate
    $ sudo port upgrade outdated

All old versions of Xcode (4.0.x/3.x) do not work with Lion.

Upgrading to Lion is a great time to make the switch to Homebrew: http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/

Benefits over MacPorts? Which has more up-to-date packages?
