This isn't robust enough for brew, I'm sure, but I've been using the script
in this gist to install pandoc myself in a sandbox, but to have brew manage
the links for the binaries.

'unlink' executables to and from a specific folder in the path: *brew install apple-gcc42 **brew link apple-gcc42
**brew unlink apple-gcc42 * The installed package has the knowledge of what needs to be linked and
unlinked to/from the path (btw, it is a path managed by brew in
/usr/local/bin similar to .cabal/bin or Library/Haskell/bin) and it is
quite easy to manage the path with it. On Fri, Nov 1, 2013 at 5:49 PM, Bob Ippolito symlinks are generally how this gets "solved" in practice. On Friday, November 1, 2013, Carter Schonwald wrote: This. Actually the Mac brew folks are hitting this issue exactly. Subtlty
being you want to be able to install bin and share assets both to a custom
location. Unclear how to do that currently. On Friday, November 1, 2013, Tom Ellis wrote: On Fri, Nov 01, 2013 at 06:37:13PM +0000, Tom Ellis wrote: On Fri, Nov 01, 2013 at 01:31:33PM -0500, Gregory Guthrie wrote:

the
sandbox but is installed to some user-wide location on the PATH. Tom _______________________________________________
