- ggm 5y agoHome-brew is possibly better for all other uses. Perhaps the Python dev recipes in home-brew need fixing.
- andreareina 5y agoThe problematic behavior is from homebrew, not the recipes. And it's not new behavior: in my system years ago it yanked the readline major version that a bunch of terminal tools (psql, graphviz, ...) were using.
- ggm 5y agoWe all have different problems. This isn't one I've suffered. The link farm model is capable of maintaining parallel dependencies back to the home-brew version specific install path. I tend to think somebody didn't do a .rb Formula which preserved this version dependency. It may be clumsy but it's fixable in brew as far as I understand it.
