We don't keep feature issues open that we do not plan to work on or accept pull requests for. As I've mentioned earlier: this also isn't about automated upgrades but your desire to not run automated upgrades that require sudo that's a personal preference that I do not see any basis for believing is a majority one. I believe this exact use-case can help many users, and can help worldwide security on macOS systemsĪutomated upgrades may help security but they also will break developer setups so this is not something that would be widely accepted.
HOMEBREW CASK SUDO INSTALL
I just want to skip anything that needs sudo.)Įdit 2: Clarify that when I write brew install above, I also mean brew cask install. I do not want sudo to have a longer timeout. I understand why sudo is necessary for some packages. #1293 (That issue seems to focus more on whether sudo is necessary at all, or can be done one time up front, or can use a longer timeout - these areas are not what I'm asking about in this issue. Make brew fetch able to behave as a sort of fallback, such that brew upgrade, brew install, and brew cask install can proceed with downloading a sudo-necessary package, so the package is available locally for whenever I have time to do sudo.Įdit 1: I found a related issue that doesn't seem to have any solution yet. Make brew install and brew cask install behave similarly. The goal: I want to run a nightly brew upgrade, unattended, and have the upgrade do as much as possible, without stopping for a password. The problem: there doesn't seem to be a way to tell brew to upgrade as much as possible unattended this makes it difficult to automate brew. The rest of the upgrade does not proceed. The symptom: run brew upgrade and it upgrades many packages, but if a package needs sudo, then the entire upgrade stops, and prompts the user to type in the sudo password.
