Will be useful for a variety of reasons, but for now, I'm just using it to ensure install won't install again if something is already installed (use brew upgrade instead).
But means that brew switch and that can work properly etc.
Consequence: you can no longer install when something is already installed, you must upgrade it. This doesn't apply if the formula in question was unlinked. You can still --force installs though.
Rationale: the old way of installing over the top would leave symlinks to multiple versions in /usr/local if the old version had a file the newer version didn't. The new upgrade command handles everything properly.
Also don't abort searches if the query matches a blacklist. Eg.
`brew search vim` should return macvim and the information that vim itself is
not packaged.
The code was sucking. To the extent that maintenance was hard. It's a lot
easier to work with code that is sensibly split at sensible boundaries. So
now it is more like that.
But the refactor is minimal. Because we don't want you to have more merge
hell than absolutely necessary.
If you merge you will need to pay attention to brew.h.rb (as it is deleted)
and bin/brew (as command logic is gone). It will be painful, but you will just
have to help git out by moving any changes around manually.
Note compatibility.rb. It ensures that any function renames or removals don't
break anything. We're pretty serious about backwards compatibility. And that's
because we encourage you to hack around with the innards. And we couldn't do
that if we would then just make stuff disappear behind your back.
