MacPorts is a great alternative, also way older but never has been as successful as Homebrew.

Second recommendation for MacPorts

It predates Homebrew by a bit and is under Apple's http://www.macosforge.org umbrella of OSS projects, so as close to 1st party support as you can get.

Third one for macports. It's more sane, at least for multi users support (I create an user for each contract work)

MacPorts rocks. No ports breaking when upgrading MacOS as can (or could,not sure if that's still an issue) with Brew.

It seems like Apple also closely work with Homebrew - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41708046#41711168

MacPorts is great!

Another excellent alternative is pkgsrc: https://pkgsrc.smartos.org/install-on-macos/

I've used pkgsrc on SmartOS/illumos and NetBSD for many years, but this is my first time using it on macOS -- about 18 months now, and all experiences positive!

Homebrew is really the worst of all the options on macOS, I wonder how it became so popular in the first place.
