Add recipes to install an array of formulas/casks #41

Closed jtimberman closed 10 years ago

jtimberman commented 10 years ago

This operates similar to Matt Ray's "packages" cookbook. A list of formulas can be created as an array, and the install_formulas recipe will iterate over it and install each formula as a brew package. Similarly, a list of casks can be specified and installed using the install_casks recipe.

I used "formulas" instead of "formulae" as this pertains to "a list of ingredients for or constituents of something", rather than of a mathematical relationship, to use the OS X Dictionary.app's definition. As this is for an OS X-related cookbook, I thought it appropos to use such definition, as words matter.

And we all know how much you love definitions

LGTM :+1:

jtimberman commented 10 years ago

That's a different kind of definition!

Also, I thought about an abstraction like definition or LWRP for this, but figured a recipe was more clear about the intent. :)
