Mike - just wanted to say thanks for all you (and the other Homebrew volunteers) do! My mac dev experience is 100x better with Homebrew - it's literally the first thing I install when I get a new machine.
Perhaps in situations like this Homebrew could alert the user "Hey, this package hasn't been updated in a while and 40 other packages depend on it so this is going to take a while. Press enter to confirm or cancel and use an alternative method (HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_UPGRADE) to just upgrade the one package. Caveat - this may break things."
- johnboiles 5y ago+1 I love homebrew. I just set up my new M1 Max machine and half of the setup work was just brew commands to install cli stuff and casks <3. It's such a joy to not need to go to a bazillion websites to download dmgs
- xchaotic 5y agowhat a flex on your new M1 MAX ;) But yeah, homebrew should ship as default with any OS X at this point...
- fragmede 5y agodid brew leaves from your old machine not hey you a transferrable list of packages?
- katbyte 5y agoEvery time I setup OS X I like to go through my osxsetup.sh bit by bit to see if there’s anything I didn’t use, change or update. Takes a little longer but it’s nice to take that time every couple years I go through it
- mikemcquaid 5y ago‘brew bundle dump’ does an even nicer job of this. Check it out!
