Why is /usr/local/Homebrew bad?
- saynsedit 10y agoBecause the UNIX hierarchy is standardized. System admins only expect bin, lib, etc, share, etc. to be in /usr/local. Imagine deleting /usr/local with the intention of only deleting local packages and accidentally breaking a Homebrew install. Not to mention it's an uppercase H which breaks UNIX file name convention.
