scottohara opened a new issue #411: Is a 2.x homebrew formula still expected?
URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb-documentation/issues/411
 
 
   In the [Installation on 
macOS](https://github.com/apache/couchdb-documentation/blob/master/src/install/mac.rst)
 docs, the following paragraph has been present since 9 September, 2016:
   
   > The Homebrew build of CouchDB 2.x is still in development. Check back 
often for updates.
   
   After almost three years, should macOS users still be advised to "check back 
often for updates", or is the possibility of a 2.x formula unlikely at this 
point?
   
   I'm aware that there is the option to `brew cask install apache-couchdb`, 
which is an alternative method of manually installing the GUI version of 
`Apache CouchDB.app`.
   However this yields a different experience to anyone previously using `brew 
install couchdb` for 1.x  (for example, it doesn't automatically link a 
`/usr/local/bin/couchdb` command, which some build/test scripts may be 
expecting).
   
   Should the 2.x macOS install docs be updated to either:
   1. remove the "Installation with Homebrew" section entirely?
   2. instruct users to `brew install cask apache-couchdb` instead?
   3. keep the existing "check back often for updates" text?
