Raymie Stata commented on FOR-1244:
-----------------------------------
Thanks for jumping on this. The way I solved the problem for 0.9 is not robust
-- I needed to carefully inspect the contents of the two tarballs to find just
the right set of non-overlapping directories for installing the dependencies.
As Forrest is updated, this approach would be a maintenance problem. It'll be
great to have the "fat" tarball -- Homebrew loves those.
(Sorry about the bad description. One good thing about Homebrew is that
Formulas direct users back to project Web sites (e.g., "brew home
apache-forrest"), so upstream projects are in control of how they describe
themselves. The text in my pull request will quickly be lost to the mists of
time.)

> I've been writing a Homebrew formula for installing Forrest onto Macs
> (https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/pull/24520). Homebrew doesn't handle the
> two-tar-file structure of your distribution very well. Can you publish a
> "fat-tar" file that combines the contents of both, in addition to the two
> independent ones?
