Also with over 1400 forks of Hombrew if your favorite package isn't included in the official Homebrew it's worth searching the fork tree to see if someone has already created the formula you're looking for. Just be sure to read the formula and check the source of the package to make sure something isn't playing nasty tricks on you. So be safe if you decide to use another fork by reading the code yourself, as is good practice with anything you're installing from open source. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
