As I understand homebrew, the only difference wold be to where the source is downloaded from (static URL, I think svn is also possible, ...). I am looking "loosely" at the moment into the script, and guess I will make slowly some progress. I will see that I setup a github repo so that others can also work on it. > of us on Linux can do this fairly easily, of course, but it's > harder for people on OSX (or, God forbid, Windows). I confess that > the one time I tried to I agree. I was using Linux for more then 10 years and was very happy with it - Ubuntu and Awesome window manager ( http://awesome.naquadah.org/ ) - a dream... But then came the chance of getting a new laptop, and the Retia display was there - well. and now I am using OSX. But coming back, I am really missing the package management in Linux - apt is so much easier then manually looking for updates, downloading them, .... And then there came homebrew, which works very nicely, and does, in contrast to Macports, not require root privileges. I will keep you posted about the progress - and if somebody has any experience with homebrew recipes, any input is welcome. > compile LyX on OSX I failed and gave up. Never tried it directly - only homebrew, and that works very smoothly. Cheers, Rainer > > Richard > - -- Rainer M. Krug, PhD (Conservation Ecology, SUN), MSc (Conservation Biology, UCT), Dipl. Phys.
