Switching to homebrew

1 Sep
2010

Finally @MSch convinced me that homebrew is the future on mac os package manager, and i switched. It was surprisingly simple, and i was able to clean up all those (around 200) installed ports from macports.

sudo port -f uninstall installed
sudo rm -rf \
    /opt/local \
    /Applications/DarwinPorts \
    /Applications/MacPorts \
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.* \
    /Library/Receipts/DarwinPorts*.pkg \
    /Library/Receipts/MacPorts*.pkg \
    /Library/StartupItems/DarwinPortsStartup \
    /Library/Tcl/darwinports1.0 \
    /Library/Tcl/macports1.0 \
    ~/.macports

So, after you are clean from MacPorts legacy, give homebrew a kickstart with smeagol!

git clone http://github.com/atmos/smeagol
EDITOR="vim" \
  GITHUB_USER="fightclub" \
  GITHUB_TOKEN="..." \
  EMAIL="tyler@paperstreetsoap.com" \
  FULLNAME="Tyler Durden" \
  rake smeagol:install

Now u’re ready for node.js, ruby and co!
