sprout-homebrew cookbook

A Chef cookbook to manage automatic startup of homebrew formulas.

Deprecation Notice

sprout-homebrew is mostly deprecated in favor of Chef's default homebrew cookbook, and is only useful for managing package automatic startup with launchctl. If you need to install homebrew, formulas, or casks, please use that cookbook instead. If needed, sprout-homebrew 0.3.0 is available, but keep in mind that it may not work as expected.

To migrate from sprout-homebrew to homebrew, you can do the following:

• sprout-homebrew::formulae — Use homebrew::install_formulas and move node_attributes.sprout.homebrew.formulae to node_attributes.homebrew.formulas.
• sprout-homebrew::casks — Use homebrew::install_casks and move node_attributes.sprout.homebrew.casks to node_attributes.homebrew.casks.
