Pin Homebrew version #487

Open aneeshusa opened 8 years ago

Unlike Linux package managers like apt-get, Homebrew likes to update itself when updating the package list (cough git repo cough). I'm not sure if this is possible, but we should pin the Homebrew version to avoid having surprises like #483.

@aneeshusa I think this article describes a solution to pinning the version of brew http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10093918/ignore-formula-on-brew-upgrade

@Coder206, I should have been more clear. Homebrew has two versioned parts, the brew binary itself and the homebrew-core package formulas. I'd like to be able to pin both of those versions, both:

installing pinned versions of both for fresh installs
updating our pinned version of both for existing installs

I'm not sure ,but I'm not aware if Homebrew actually currently has this functionality.
