[osx] installing 1.3.x branch via brew

[Dave Cottlehuber <dc...@jsonified.com>]

Hi folks,

Here's a 1.3.x branch homebrew formula:
https://gist.github.com/4657643 as the main homebrew repo doesn't
accept recipes that point to evolving branches. It still uses all the
homebrew goodness and the only difference is pointing to a development
branch. brew dependencies and uninstall all work the usual way.

You should be able to do:

`brew install --devel https://gist.github.com/raw/4657643/couchdb.rb`

Please let me know if it works for you and on what OSX versions!

A+

is this safe to do if I've already got 1.2.1 installed locally (via
homebrew)?

Possible maybe, wise definitely not.

While macports is /opt/local/ and brew is /usr/local, surely the shell
will have one set before the other and who knows what the compilers
will end up using for pre-requisites like icu and spidermonkey.  I'm
pretty sure one will conflict with the other.

It should be easy to adapt the changes I made in the couchdb.rb recipe
to macports if you want to push it upstream, it's based off the 1.3.x
DEVELOPERS file.

I have macports installed and on this reason I'm afraid that couchdb
from brew could conflict with couchdb-devel from macports. May be you
know if is possible to install both of them at once or not?
