Mac install instructions : brew > ports
I just setup a new laptop and used homebrew to install the CouchDB deps
(spidermonkey & erlang).
Not only was it super fast and painless but I got a newer spidermonkey
(1.8.3) which is something like 30x faster for most of the stuff we do with
the view server but I also didn't have to pass any special parameters to
./configure.
Anyone object to me remove all references to MacPorts in our Mac install
instructions and replacing with homebrew?

No objections here. Though, I might suggest that we also copy out the
formulas so in case people want to install deps by hand.

We need to get CouchDB into the iStore when it's rolled out in OS X Lion!
Feel free to donate the proceeds raised to my personal account. ;)

I agree, an addition is great, we can leave the MacPorts part in with a disclaimer that brew is more recommended.
Personally, I found MacPorts to be the less predictable system, but whatever works for folks.

I'd be happy with a disclaimer like "If you have an objection to
installing CouchDB through Homebrew, it is also available within the
MacPorts tree."
But, since the ports instructions are substantially incorrect, I don't
see a problem with removing them.

The install docs also refer to building for development.

I might have an objection to that. Homebrew links into your system in
slightly unpredictable ways - I certainly don't mind them being ADDED,
or even recommended, but I think that purging all references to
MacPorts might be excessive.
On the other hand, how hard is it to figure out how to type 'sudo port
install couchdb'?
