This is something that I've noticed starting about 2 days ago. In my past experience, Homebrew would always have daily updates. I would always type the command brew update
and voila, there would be packages that would be updated/deleted and Homebrew would display what changed. I also noticed that if I didn't update Homebrew for more than a day, I would get the following notice:
Homebrew hasn't been updated in the last 24 hours. That's a long time in brew land. Type 'brew update.
However, the last time I updated Homebrew on my Mac was on August 10, 2016. Today is August 14, 2016 and when I type brew update
, it tells me that everything is already up-to-date, even though I haven't updated Homebrew in 4 days. The update notice in brew doctor
also does not show-up. I have not modified Homebrew in any way throughout this whole debacle.
Is there a solution to this Homebrew updating issue or does Homebrew not have daily updates anymore?
If you're coming to M1 Mac fresh, without any old projects or profiles, you probably won't notice; Homebrew will work as it always has. But if you're trying to migrate from an Intel Mac you won't be able to just move packages that were once in /usr/local over to /opt/homebrew .
A detailed description of the proposed feature. Today by default, everytime you install a new package, brew will go ahead and automatically update all of my system packages to their latest versions.
According to https://github.com/Homebrew/brew#update-bug
If Homebrew was updated on Aug 10-11th 2016 and brew update always says Already up-to-date. you need to run
cd $(brew --repo); git fetch; git reset --hard origin/master; brew update
