Add Homebrew bash link for update instructions #14

Closed billyboozer closed 11 years ago

billyboozer commented 11 years ago

The polka README should have instructions on updating bash via Homebrew so I added a link for those instructions.

Thanks @billyboozer!

The guide that we were already linking to in the README said to add the new bash entry to /etc/shells. The guide that Billy found says to add it to /private/etc/shells. I'm guessing those are the same?

I am honestly not sure. I've always done /etc/shells

According to here /etc is symlinked to /private/etc I prefer the instructions tell you to add it to /etc because that is normal. I would prefer not to link to external sources for instructions. Those links can die and it would be a while before we would realize it. We should take all external documentation and rewrite it for our purposes.

I wish brew info was more explicit, so that we could just link to https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/blob/master/Library/Formula/bash.rb#L26

I will probably add a documentation directory for instructions for installing dependencies on various operation systems.

leesmith commented 11 years ago

Word.

I'll bet I never re-wrote those instructions... oh well :)
