Which, as someone pointed out in a separate comment thread here, Homebrew is already doing. I'm not sure what else you want from them, they seem to be following best practices here.
- falcolas 9y agoExisting installs were not prompted. You had to catch it in the patch notes, IIRC.
- mikemcquaid 9y agoNot prompted but were notified.
- bobwaycott 9y agoThe notification when it first came out wasn’t really noticeable for a tool that frequently has a lot of output an average user running `brew upgrade` would be used to ignoring. Prompting would have been the better choice. I didn’t notice until the change hit HN and created a bit of a shit storm. PS: Despite my feelings of disagreement on how brew handled this, I still appreciate your work.
- mikemcquaid 9y agoHomebrew literally never prompts for anything so a prompt would likely break many scripts.
- ysavir 9y agoYou are right. If I put more thought into my comment I would have urged them to prompt the user. But I rushed, and the post was invalid and senseless.
