Refactor0.4
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.

Making the most of OS X + Homebrew knows how many cores you have thanks to RubyCocoa, so it makes + sure when it builds it uses all of them, (unless you don't want it to of + course). Homebrew integrates with Ruby gems, CPAN and Python disttools. These tools exist already and do the job great. We don't reinvent the wheel, we just improve it by making these tools install with more management options. |
