Adding new bookmarks in QGIS causes it to crash. about homebrew-osgeo4mac HOT 2 CLOSED

@dakcarto, thanks for the fix.

How do I actually go about getting this applied? brew update && brew upgrade qgis-20 isn't working here, I'm apparently already using the latest build. It's like your latest commit doesn't exist.

I'm fairly sure this is just a case of me not knowing how to use Homebrew correctly; any help would be appreciated.

Thanks again

Hi, @jacquestardie. The brew upgrade command upgrades a package only if there is a bump in its version, or you choose another version option, e.g. --devel or --HEAD. The brew update command just updates all associated git repos, aka main and custom taps, so all formula are updated. To update a package using the updated formula (that hasn't had a version bump) requires the package to be uninstalled then installed again. There is a convenience command for this, brew reinstall, which has the advantages of maintaining your chosen options from the previous install. So, if you installed with qgis-20 --with-grass --globe then those are the options applied on reinstall.

However, --devel or --HEAD options (I think) are not honored on reinstall. For example, to upgrade to latest --HEAD you would do the following:

brew unlink qgis-20 && brew upgrade qgis-20 --HEAD --with-grass --with-globe

This command will install HEAD alongside of 2.0.1, without removing the 2.0.1 'keg' install in HOMEBREW_PREFIX/Cellar/qgis-20/, assuming you had already installed 2.0.1. Also, 2.0.1 app bundle will still be double-click launch-able from there as well, if the Python modules of the HEAD install are still compatible with 2.0.1. If you want to switch back to the 2.0.1 install, but not remove HEAD, or vice versa, then use the switch command:

brew switch qgis-20 [2.0.1 or HEAD]

Whichever keg is current will be the one available in HOMEBREW_PREFIX/opt/qgis-20/ and symlinked into HOMEBREW_PREFIX/[bin,lib,python/site-packages].
