I'm not familiar with Homebrew.
Is it the kind of thing I could use to manage packages in my own directory as a non-root user (on Linux)?
If so, will it be able to base itself on what my distribution offers, or will it build things up from scratch with its own toolchain packages?

- einpoklum 6y agoI mean, will it try to use the libraries and toolchain components available on my system to build other packages which I download, or will it kind of bootstrap its own toolchain for building?
- Hackbraten 6y agoFrom https://docs.brew.sh/Homebrew-on-Linux https://docs.brew.sh/Homebrew-on-Linux: > Homebrew does not use any libraries provided by your host system, except glibc and gcc if they are new enough.
