I have said "packaging system", by which I mean
every Linux distribution
pkgsrc (10+ operating systems, esp. NetBSD and illumos)
FreeBSD ports
OpenBSD ports
brew
macports
fink
[probably a dozen more]
and I didn't really mean
pip (which is a python-only packaging system)
[all the rest of the single-language systems]
I don't think it makes sense at all to talk about using a particular
packaging system for weewx. Even if so, brew seems nowhere near
portable enough to suffice, covering a mere 2 operating systems.
Certainly brew should *contain* weewx, but weewx should not be a
brew-only thing.
Till has explained things super well, and I concur with those comments.
This is about doing things the normal python way so that
weewx is normal in python
therefore pip is smooth
therefore *all* of the above systems can wrap weewx easily
