We are trying to keep the VM image as lean as possible but not planning to remove Flutter or have a separate variant. There is too much historical reasons.
fair enough.
so how can I use brew
on macos-monterey-xcode:latest
?
and if that ship has sailed, are there any plans for future images to not fall into the same trap?
i wonder if you would consider providing images that only have
brew
+XCode
, but noand the like.flutter
,android-sdk
As of now, i need to uninstall a couple of packages first in order to be able to use
brew
:my understanding is, that this is because i'm using the monterey images (
ghcr.io/cirruslabs/macos-monterey-xcode:latest
): these images are no longer updated (by you), but come with a an outdated (by new)brew
installation that fails on the formula of one or another of the installed packages.the lesson i learned from this is, that the more dependencies are pre-installed, the more can go stale and break things.
(otoh, i do want
XCode
pre-installed, as it is huge; and a basicbrew
installation is also very welcome)
