Provided the user installed with our installer anyway. It creates all the directories that Homebrew will need during its life thus negating the need for root writability.

Because the new installer creates the .git directory when it installs.

Because the new installer will always create /usr/local/sbin. Because we must keep /usr/local root:wheel unless we want to be considered bad citizens.

Don't install when bottling. Homebrew should bottle whatever is installed. If nothing is installed, error out.

The point being to have less duplicate information.

I am updating the wiki and the homepage accordingly.

I am loathe to leave the "what packages are available" lines but I believe
people who are interested in such things are likely to end up at the source
root so it is appropriate.

This is needed for Ruby 1.9.x compatibility, but we still don't support
running Homebrew with anything other than a system provided 1.8.[67].

Thus the url we use can change.

This only works provided the urls both contain git repos with the same blobs. But this should always be true.

Adjust mirror ohai slightly.

All Apache Formulae should be updated to use the closer.vgi script
to specify downloads rather than a random mirror that could be out
of date or compromised. Apache's closer.cgi does periodic health
checks.

The base URL for the mirror system is

  http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi?path=#{filepath}

e.g.:

  http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi?path=/couchdb/1.0.3/apache-couchdb-1.0.3.tar.gz

Note: The addition of the "Actually downloading..." message is sub-optimal
as the message should probably be emitted in _fetch() rather than fetch(),
but I didn't want to change the way Homebrew works today, so I'm leaving
this for mxcl & team to sort out or adopt :)

Currently, `brew doctor` complains about GREP_OPTIONS being set,
regardless of its value. The cmake formula, for which this check was
introduced, is more specific about what actually makes it fail.

GREP_OPTIONS='--color=auto' will not cause the build to fail, so don't
warn about this.

XCode 4.x only includes GCC 4.2. Therefore, having `brew doctor` report that
GCC 4.0 is missing only spreads fear, uncertainty and doubt over a situation
that is status quo.

Fixes Homebrew/homebrew#6065. Fixes Homebrew/homebrew#6218.

Fixes Homebrew/homebrew#6065.

My pre-emptive fix that avoided calling Pathname.ensure_writable because I was not convinced it worked broke this function due to incorrect logic.

The lesson is, don’t write pre-emptive fixes. Wait until you've seen the bug first. All code has bugs in, so write less. I'm an idiot sometimes.

This line is getting long, and having these on a separate line
will help with some rebasing in some work-in-progress branches.

A spurious "--" argument was being passed to the installer script.

Also clean-up this external command in preparation
for becoming a built-in command.

Make which_versions available in Homebrew module so
that it can be used by other commands in the future.
