Note that version is not 1.0 yet. We may break some stuff and some things may be less than perfect. However generally it works great, we're just setting your expectations a bit lower so you don't troll us. Thanks.
h2. Important Considerations
- Homebrew doesn't install gems, eggs, etc. If you want them, read: Gems, Eggs and Perl Modules
- Homebrew doesn’t install most “dupes”, though we do package them separately in "adamv/homebrew-alt":https://github.com/adamv/homebrew-alt. Soon we’ll add tools to make it easier to get at formulae in other repositories.
h2. Reporting Bugs
Your issue may be known or have a common solution. Please check here before filing a report. Otherwise, please report bugs to our "tracker":https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/issues. Filing amazingly useful bug reports is a skill we should all have, so why not read Alan McRae’s: "“How To File A Bug Report”":http://allanmcrae.com/2011/05/how-to-file-a-bug-report/.
h2. Contributing/Revising Formula
Contributing to Homebrew is easy and encouraged!
@brew create http://example.com/foo-0.1.tar.gz@
and then "open a pull request":https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/pulls.
Having said this, please read the Formula Cookbook before you send the pull request…or kittens may die[1].
If Homebrew doesn’t have the version of the tool you need, @brew edit foo@ and fix it yourself!
fn1. This statement is an empty threat. Homebrew neither engages in nor condones the killing of kittens.
