I wanted to comment about this as a LPT because of past experiences, then went to run `brew update` and `brew upgrade` which took more than an hour because it had to build a new version of LLVM from source... Then I ran `brew cleanup` and boom, 4.4GB of free space on a MacBook Air with a small disk.
Overall I hate how slow brew is, especially `update` should be 10x faster, it should maybe warn about source builds that could take forever, and it should maybe give a summary like `apt` whether there are packages to be `autoremove`d.
- Hackbraten 8y agoYou may know it already but as a PSA: you can usually avoid source builds on `brew install` and `brew upgrade` if you do it without options (such as `--with-lldb`). Unless you customize your installation using options, Homebrew will install your package from bottle, which is infinity times faster than building from source.
