Homebrew Not Working:

Bug reports:

Brew update gives this twice:

Use 'depends_on "autoconf" => :build' instead. /usr/local/Library/Homebrew/compat/dependency_collector.rb:11:in `parse_symbol_spec'

Therefore, I can not update brew anymore. Just started yesterday, 07/29/2016. OS X 10.11.6 (15G31)

We tweaked some things to make our deprecations less silent, because most of them were getting ignored & it makes making Homebrew work more difficult. We may need to tweak the messaging depending on how much this proves very noisy.

brew update should be identifying the problematic file along with that message. Is that not the case?

[raguay]

No, it just gives that message. Nothing else. It really messes up my BitBar script.

Can you run brew update -v & see if we hit a more obvious failure point? Thanks.

[raguay]

Weird. brew update now shows nothing but everything is up to date. But, brew upgrade still shows the errors. I ran the command:

brew upgrade -v   Warning: Calling 'depends_on :autoconf' is deprecated! Use 'depends_on "autoconf" => :build' instead. /usr/local/Library/Homebrew/compat/dependency_collector.rb:11:in `parse_symbol_spec'

Warning: Calling 'depends_on :automake' is deprecated! Use 'depends_on "automake" => :build' instead. /usr/local/Library/Homebrew/compat/dependency_collector.rb:11:in `parse_symbol_spec'

It's doesn't give anymore information than that.

In 0a33cc591d258e07f2279bc0440d62e38983fd67 I improved the logic that determines which code location to point out in the message a bit, so that it will hopefully always point out the formula where the warning originated from. Can you please brew update and see if it now shows the offending formulae in the message?

[raguay]

Okay. It looks like the last emacs is the cause:

Warning: Calling 'depends_on :autoconf' is deprecated! Use 'depends_on "autoconf" => :build' instead. /usr/local/Library/Taps/railwaycat/homebrew-emacsmacport/Formula/emacs-mac.rb:10:in `class:EmacsMac'

Warning: Calling 'depends_on :automake' is deprecated! Use 'depends_on "automake" => :build' instead. /usr/local/Library/Taps/railwaycat/homebrew-emacsmacport/Formula/emacs-mac.rb:11:in `class:EmacsMac'

I believe Emacs had just updated before this started showing up as well.

Thanks and sorry for the trouble! Could you report this to the railwaycat/emacsmacport tap?

The cause of the problem here has been kindly fixed upstream. Should be alright now, at least for that tap.
