For every user on this machine? On every Mac in the house? Meh.
What I want:
"brew disable analytics"
There, now I don't have to think about it any more, nor maintain a .profile/.bashrc, nor do it every single time for every user.
- abjorn 11y agoYou would still need to do it for every user, anytime you create a new one. I fail to see how that's any different from, say `echo "export HOMEBREW_NO_ANALYTICS=1" >> .bashrc` Of course, the better alternative IS for it to be opt-in, which it should be.
- fit2rule 11y agoThis: >>>`echo "export HOMEBREW_NO_ANALYTICS=1" >> .bashrc` .. makes me responsible for it. This: >>> brew analytics no-never .. makes brew responsible for it. There is a big difference. Some of us don't want to have to maintain yet another .bashrc file tweak just to have a safe and sane environment. I hope the homebrew guys will pay attention to this issue.
