Yeah, the postgres and postgis being preinstalled is a bit of a pain, since
they do not seem to keep them updated.

Looks like, since they *are* installed, you can try skipping them (and
other non-essential recommended libs) as dependencies with:

$ brew install qgis-28 --without-postgis --without-postgresql
--without-grass --without-gpsbabel --only-dependencies

That should be the minimum for a Travis CI setup (not tested). The only
funky one is '--without-postgresql', which is a hard dependency, but the
CMake variable POSTGRES_CONFIG:FILEPATH=/usr/local/bin/pg_config should be
found by default. It was with my test on 10.9.5. Apple's system-provided
postgresql client is woefully outdated.

The GRASS provider is part of the unit test suite (for both 6 and 7 if
found), but, if skipped, should greatly speed up the CI builds.

I just updated the formula with 2.8.3. Let me know if you need me to add
more options to it to facilitate the Travis setup.
