[Qgis-user] In lieu of a QGIS 2.0 Homebrew formula ...

[Larry Shaffer]

Hi Robert,

Nice work on that! Concerning the Homebrew QGIS formula, I have been
working on a major update. I've added several new formula as well, to
achieve a *complete and stable* working environ for the user, as well as
PyQGIS and QGIS developers.

Notably, there is now support for:

* QGIS Server
* Globe plugin (with latest osgEarth 2.5)
* Many of the Processing extras (R, OrfeoToolbox, Saga)
* Spatialite access in DB Manager
* Required Python modules
* Local API doc generation
* Debug output builds for master branch (HEAD)
* Current PostgreSQL access client
* GPSBabel, for GPS Tools plugin
* Separate Lwgeom library/formula for third-party Processing plugin

>From scratch, the entire formula, with all options, will take several hours
or more to compile on a fast Mac. The build can be in the normal Homebrew
prefix of `/usr/local` as well as custom prefixes.

Currently the work is in a 'tap' here [0]. Some of the new formula have
been accepted as pull requests, while others are in pull request limbo.
Until many of the base formulae are committed (maybe) upstream, any formula
in my tap will do the trick. There are duplicates of `gdal` and `grass`
that will be *ignored* when updating the tap. I'm currently keeping them in
sync with the main Homebrew tap while we work out the 10.9 upgrade bugs.
You can manually use them if you are familiar with editing formulae and
managing your local Homebrew git repository on the main tap.

The QGIS 2.0 formula [1] is in a 'beta' state, and requires a good
understanding of Homebrew to tinker with right now. It is about 85%
complete, though does currently compile fine on OS X 10.7-8, while 10.9 is
a work-in-progress and 10.6 is completely untested.

Any help or testing, or pull requests to my tap's repo, would be gladly
appreciated. Thanks to John Tull for his help on this and for his many pull
requests to the upstream Homebrew project. Feel free to contact me for help
if you embark on using the formula in the tap.
