Otherwise you run the risk of not running the exact version / make of the utility you planned.
FixesHomebrew/homebrew#48
Really we need to do this formula too, so I guess a make and cmake function are on the way…
Ohai is for titles, to separate sections of output so it is more readable, it
truncates long lines for this purpose. So don't use it if the line you are
outputting is likely to be long and important. Instead prefix that line with
a summary header.
Is it a DSL? No. But people call it that apparently.
To add a dependency:
class Doe <Formula
depends_on 'ray'
depends_on 'mee' => :optional
depends_on 'far' => :recommended
depends_on Sew.new
end
Sew would be a formula you have defined in this Formula file. This is useful,
eg. see Python's formula. Formula specified in this fashion cannot be linked
into the HOMEBREW_PREFIX, they are considered private libraries. This allows
you to create custom installations that are very specific to your formula.
More features to come, like specifying versions
I didn't change the class name, it's clear from the context where it is used what it does. However when just looking at files to figure out the nature of Homebrew I believe in clear naming.
Otherwise funny names earn you points.
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.
Specify dependencies in your formula's deps function. You can return an Array,
String or Hash, eg:
def deps
{ :optional => 'libogg', :required => %w[flac sdl], :recommended => 'cmake' }
end
Note currently the Hash is flattened and qualifications are ignored. If you
only return an Array or String, the qualification is assumed to be :required.
Other packaging systems have problems when it comes to packages requiring a
specific version of a package, or some patches that may not work well with
other software. With Homebrew we have some options:
1. If the formula is vanilla but an older version we can cherry-pick the old
version and install it in the Cellar in parallel, but just not symlink it
into /usr/local while forcing the formula that depends on it to link to
that one and not any other versions of it.
2. If the dependency requires patches then we shouldn't install this for use
by any other tools, (I guess this needs to be decided on a per-situation
basis). It can be installed into the parent formula's prefix, and not
symlinked into /usr/local. In this case the dependency's Formula
derivation should be saved in the parent formula's file (check git or
flac for an example of this).
Both the above can be done currently with hacks, so I'll flesh out a proper
way sometime this week.
This is because I have observed two people confuse make with the "make" tool
and thus assume `brew make' is `brew install'.
`brew make' will be deprecated at 0.7, until then it shows a warning.
Pressing CTRL-C during installs would remove the prefix but not the keg directory. brew list would then report this keg as installed, even though it was empty.
Defaulting to EDITOR, then checking for the mate command, and then using
vim as a last resort.

Plain brew edit still uses Textmate though because a client that
supported a project concept is required for that particular feature.
Patches for that welcome.
Example usage:
brew search w # formulae containing w
brew search ^w # formulae starting with w
No parameters lists all packages.
Also adds puts_columns to util, and uses it for output.

I changed the command from 'available' to search because this is more similar
to how other tools call this function.
The short form is -S, which is the "pacman" tool equivalent.
New method which uses RubyCocoa with the FSEvents API from Rucola to watch if
files aren't installed outside the Homebrew prefix. Right now the paths being
watched are: /System, /usr, /etc, /sbin, /bin, and /Applications.

I realised that -msse4.1 and -msse4.2 aren't supported by GCC 4.0, so I made
the brash decision that we require GCC 4.2. It comes with Xcode 3.1 so people
can upgrade if they have to.
Requiring a single compiler is better for us anyway -- less possible errors
and failures.
Formulae can still request gcc-4.0.1, but at least then those formulae still
only use a single compiler and not possibly two.
This regards Issue Homebrew/homebrew#30.
Turns out -march=native isn't supported by Apple's GCC, but while investigating it I found they'd back ported the -march=core2 option, so we win anyway.
Logic reverted to how it was yesterday.
I moved the gcc options stuff back to brewkit.rb as we manipulate the cflags more later and it seemed bad form to split the logic for this area over two files.
Additionally the brew command exits immediately on powerpc now. Brewkit doesn't throw as theoretically it is a useful library file for other projects.
If brew is called with an explicit path, eg. './bin/brew',
HOMEBREW_PREFIX is set to an empty string resulting in failure of all
brew commands using HOMEBREW_PREFIX. This commit forces Pathname to
compile an absolute path, setting HOMEBREW_PREFIX correctly.

I removed the Dir.chdir line altogether as it was a hacky solution to an issue
in Ruby that I encountered a lot during early development, ie. I'd brew rm
while working directory was set to that keg.
Because we modified the ENV global each install this propagated to consecutive
formulae. So exec a new brew process each install. This is the safest way
although Ruby exceptions don't propagate to the parent process so I worry
about it somewhat.
Large refactor to Formula, mostly improving reliability and error handling but
also layout and readability.
General improvements so testing can be more complete.
Patches are automatically downloaded and applied for Formula that return a
list of urls from Formula::patches.
Split out the brew command logic to facilitate testing.
Facility from Adam Vandenberg to allow selective cleaning of files, added
because Python doesn't work when stripped.
