- jackgavigan 11y agoWhat unix convention are you referring to?

- jackgavigan 11y agoOkay, so can you explain to me how putting .git/, README.md and Cellar/ in /usr/local/ doesn't break that convention but putting them in /usr/local/homebrew/ does?

- joosters 11y agoCan't see how that applies. Does FHS really say anything about the structure underneath /usr/local ? Besides which, the Mac's filesystem isn't FHS in the first place...
