I love brew but it was decades of tradition to download source and compile as non-root on shared Unix systems. Not only were the sysadmins skilled at saying no, they were not always available at 2 am, but installing some random code, after editing the Makefile to reflect some oddity of something, was 24x7. And then when we got better offers than shared dial up hosting, it was root or nothing. To be sure it is ridiculous, but it is also traditional. |
