Hi Gabriele,
I am not using homebrew (and I also don't know of anyone else who is). But the
package definition seems reasonably straight forward, so we will see if it can
gain some traction (especially with respect to the mac app store).
One thing did strike me as odd in your code, though: When installing from the
binary archive the absolute file names of the library dependencies are
hard-coded into the mach-o binaries. This would break the installation unless
installed into the standard prefix (/usr/local). That can be changed using
apples install_name_tool. I can't find any code to do that in your package
definition. Does homebrew do that for you? Did you only install in the standard
prefix? Did you maybe "happen" to have a copy of monet (and thus the libraries)
in /usr/local?
Also you should change your launchd-description to set the path to the
monetdb.conf file in the environment variable MONETDB5CONF.
kind regards
holger
