Delete Branch "patch-1"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Looks like python27 and py27-pyqt4 aren't in the Homebrew index. Should users instead be prompted to download MacPorts?
The wiki lists the dependencies for both homebrew and MacPorts:
https://bitmessage.org/wiki/Compiling_instructions#OS_X
It would probably be nice if INSTALL had the same instructions.
Homebrew's packages for python27 and py27-pyqt4 are
python
andpyqt
respectively as they are the stable versions. There are also named packages for python24, python25, python26, python3 (3.3), python31, and python32, and there is also a pyqt5 package for future reference.And as for the py2app script, it can use
pip
instead ofeasy_install
since that's the recommended program to use with Homebrew.Please don't take this the wrong way, but if we're going to change the main installaiton instructions, could we actually test the changes instead of guessing about whether brew's openssl is a requirement or dependency?
That's true. It appears to work just fine with the OS X version of OpenSSL, but if this project requires a 1.0+ version of OpenSSL, then it would need to be made into a homebrew script to include the proper version of OpenSSL.
Agreed. I'm using default openssl and it seems to work fine, although I have no way of knowing if any errors are being generated in the output.
