Great news indeed.

Kent, please note the first lines of http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/

     Packages are installed into their own isolated prefixes
     and then symlinked into /usr/local.

Imo, this is what should be done for almost all packages on Linux.  It
would ease the pain enormously.  No need for sudo to modify packages
that I installed.  No conflicts with system software.  No
catastrophes.

In fact that what GoboLinux does:

http://www.gobolinux.org/

Unfortunately the idea doesn't catch up and the distro is stopped.

Cheers,

Offray
