If you want only that little description you can use `brew desc <formula>` as well.

Without going into the rest of your points, which seem bizarrely furious at a piece of software, nothing about Homebrew forces you to live inside `/usr/local`.

It is recommended, but if you want to run in `/opt/brew` or `~/brew` you'll get a warning some things may not work but that's it. There's no hard block, and the vast majority of core formulae can pour their bottles anywhere.

There's actually an `analytics` command that saves you even having to manually do this. `brew analytics --help` shows the options.

Thankfully, none of Homebrew's binaries are stored on GitHub.

Most of the changes committed to Homebrew are formulae-based; of the ~5600 contributors in Homebrew's lifetime only ~430 have contributed to the core code.

Nowhere outrageously surprising, really.

Homebrew's creator hasn't been involved with Homebrew for nearly two years now.

Not sure why you're looking at Homebrew.

If you're feeling jumpy about binary packages, just set `HOMEBREW_BUILD_FROM_SOURCE="1"` in your shell profile.

Nobody's forcing binaries onto you.

Aye. The Debian compile rules for Jessie's OpenSSL include "no-ssl2 no-ssl3 no-ssl3-method" so it's just TLS1.0 onwards available.

Minor highlight: Debian 8 ships with an OpenSSL which has SSLv3 disabled at compile-time.

Checked Google Chrome prior to update, said it was vulnerable. Updated and now it isn't. Firefox 37 on OS X wasn't vulnerable apparently.

I noticed the rather pitifully empty donation bar last week, and made a mental node to chip in a little bit as soon as I could. Donated €5 today, and visited the website again just now and the donation bar is more than full, which is just incredible.

Werner's engagement on the mailing lists is awesome enough, let alone the software he writes. Genuinely glad for the guy that he's getting some of the financial support he needs.

If most of the UK didn't already think Cameron was an arse this could really damage his reputation.

Kinda weird you've implemented SSL/TLS everywhere except the home page. Surely that's not a deliberate omission?

Also, as much as I hate to be a pedant, spelling mistakes/missing words on the homepage look sloppy:

"The people in your life will feel better knowing they can expect an email from your after you’re gone."

"you canlog back"
