While working on f10691bcc, I noticed this odd comment and decided to
investigate. I wasn't able to reproduce the undesirable behavior because
I cannot get 1.8.7 to compile with rvm but I did notice through some
testing that iTerm2 displays a lock character when echo mode is
disabled. My intent had been to remove this method because Homebrew has
moved past a Ruby version that would necessitate the "hack" but this
method's behavior is actually desirable today, so I changed the comment
to remove the potential flag and instead left a comment explaining
a good second reason for the method.
- Make `--verbose` and `--analytics` behave differently.
- Allow `--analytics` to return results for formulae that don't exist
(but are in the top 10,000 installed formulae).
This makes use of both the existing interfaces and could use the
existing cache file but we'll create a new one and cleanup the old one
to avoid issues and use a more consistent name.
Work around ronn's inability to nest indents within list items by modifying its output to add a line break and indent after lines ending with a colon that aren't a list item's first line. This allows `brew.1.md.erb` to join the commands' help text without extra line breaks, which avoids the issue where kramdown was turning any command specs containing pipe characters into tables in the HTML output.
- ensure that `HOMEBREW_CELLAR` is always created on `install`.
- remove the need for a special `PRUNEABLE_DIRECTORIES` variable
- reuse values from existing variables and get `uniq`s.
After upgrading existing kegs, we now search and upgrade their
dependents as well. If any are detected that have broken linkage, they
are reinstalled from source.
If there are any formulae in the dependents tree that are pinned, they
are only reinstalled if they're not outdated; in all cases, a suitable
message is printed detailing the kegs that will be acted upon.
Consolidate the handling of which directories need to exist and which
need to be writable. Additionally, add a fatal check for formula
installations to ensure that any directories that need to be writable
are so before attempting an installation.
Fixes#4626.
