Till Toenshoff commented on MESOS-2448:
---------------------------------------
+1!
Getting homebrew to properly build and install Mesos __including__ the native
eggs on OSX is hard to solve in a reliable way due to the way distutils work as
mentioned in MESOS-799 and also as described in
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20733512/mesos-examplestest-pythonframework-check-fails-on-osx/20733513#20733513.
If Apple was distributing a clang built Python, things were a lot easier.
Even though Mesos is not commonly used in production on OSX (missing isolation
is one of the deal-breakers), it definitely is used a lot on OSX by developers.
Allowing it to be used on OSX is IMHO a huge gainer, hence making sure the
Mesos homebrew recipe works flawlessly should IMHO be of a very high priority
for us.
> release checklist should include 'update homebrew' for OS X developers

> Key: MESOS-2448
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-2448
> Project: Mesos
> Issue Type: Documentation
> Components: documentation
> Affects Versions: 0.20.1
> Reporter: Aaron Bell
> Assignee: Aaron Bell
> Priority: Minor
>
> For many developers the {{brew install mesos}} path is the first exposure to
> Mesos. Currently this is maintained best-efforts by the community, and
> they're not doing very well.
> Example: current Mesos compatibility is stuck in this PR:
> https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/pull/37087/
> By adding this to the release checklist we can ensure developers can get the
> latest version easily.
