Of all package managers I use, homebrew is without a doubt the most satisfying. It tracks updates closely and has always had any package I was looking for, yet I don't remember the last time I ran into an error.
(I'm sure all three happen, but if I can't find them with close to 200 packages installed, they must be doing something right)
- teilo 10y agoDespite the warnings from their team, as soon as I switched to /opt/homebrew all of my homebrew problems went away. The biggest issue by far are the number of traditional packages that install in /usr/local with root privileges, thereby clobbering homebrew and making "brew doctor" freak out.
