The classes better reflect their contents. I'm sure this change may be
contentious, but I am a sucker for trying to create source bases that are easy
to get to grips with and easy to navigate.
brewkit.rb is now a deprecated file.
The Contributions/selflink.sh script does not symlink the .git directory,
so 'brew update' will fail because the prefix (/usr/local/) is not a git
repository.
To determine the actual location of the git repo we can get the realpath
of the Library (to expand any symlinks) and take the parent of that.
For this to work the "running script" must be the formulae file. Making this
so wasn't so hard, there is now an install.rb script which is included with
the -r flag to the ruby executable. An at_exit handler calls the install
function.
Having the install logic in its own file made it feel like there was so much
space that I added extra error handling. So there is something to be said for
separating functionality out into its own files.
Still the error handling sucks, we'll need to marshall the exception back to
the bin/brew command. Which is another PITA.
Still overall I think this will prove worthwhile. But if it doesn't we'll
revert.
As a first usage, you can put a diff after __END__ and return DATA from
Formula::patches to make Homebrew aware of it.
