• [$] Pouring packages with Homebrew

    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Wed Nov 19 06:40:08 2025

    The Homebrew project is an
    open-source package-management system that comes with a repository of
    useful packages for Linux and macOS. Even though Linux distributions
    have their own package management and repositories, Homebrew is often
    used to obtain software that is not available in a distribution's repository
    or to install more current versions of projects than are available
    from long-term-support (LTS) distributions. Homebrew 5.0.0,
    released on November 12, 2025, expanded Linux support to include
    64-bit Arm packages in addition to x86_64, and turned on concurrent
    downloads by default to speed up package downloads.
