> unless of course the recipes you're using are hosted on github Yeah, the problem I was having at the time was that Homebrew was trying to fetch a tarball hosted on Github. I was just whinging though, that was the only time I've ever hit that particular snag. The system you propose would be great, but more work than switching to running headless Linux VMs on OSX for most dev work ;) This is something I have been drifting toward for a while now, using Vagrant.
