- Cleanup portable ruby if you haven't specifically requested it and
you don't need it. This will be useful when e.g. upgrading OS versions
- Cleanup the old DBM linkage cache. These will not be used again.
- ensure that `HOMEBREW_CELLAR` is always created on `install`.
- remove the need for a special `PRUNEABLE_DIRECTORIES` variable
- reuse values from existing variables and get `uniq`s.
Consolidate the handling of which directories need to exist and which
need to be writable. Additionally, add a fatal check for formula
installations to ensure that any directories that need to be writable
are so before attempting an installation.
Fixes#4626.
If the underneath file system is a Network File System,
`brew cleanup` will fail to remove the lock files with following error
message:
Error: Bad file descriptor @ rb_file_flock - /path/to/the/lock_file
This commit fixes such issue and adds the corresponding test case.
Fixes#2355
Create unremovable_kegs instance var
Check cellar cleanup failure after full cleanup completes
Use module_function in Homebrew::Cleanup as we never instantiate the
class
Since #292, HOMEBREW_CACHE was moved to a per-user directory. This makes
it unsuitable to store global lock files on multiple users environment.
Therefore, introducing a global lock directory `/Library/Lock.d` to
store lock files from formula lockers as well as `brew update`.
* add Language::Node helper module
This adds a language module for Node module based formulas.
It contains the 2 public methods `std_npm_install_args(libexec)` and
`local_npm_install_args`:
* `std_npm_install_args` is intended to be used in formulas for
standard node modules and returns `npm install` args for a global
style module installation to libexec.
* `local_npm_install_args` is for formulas, in which the `npm install`
step is only one of multiple parts of the installation process and
returns `npm install` args for a default local installation in place.
Both methods have in common, that they are
* making sure that a working copy of npm and node-gyp from node's
libexec is prepended to the PATH (to not rely of a user managed npm)
* seting the npm cache to HOMEBREW_CACHE/npm, which fixes issues caused
by overriding $HOME resulting in long install times + high disk usage
(see https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/pull/37#issuecomment-208840366)
* audit: update npm install check for Language::Node
* cleanup: remove npm_cache too
* doc: add Node-for-Formula-Authors.md
