But neither is it very useful to have the already small set of OS X -based
developers split into those who use a pure upstream way to build, those who
use HomeBrew libjpeg but bundled Python, those who use MacPorts Python and
libjpeg, etc. For each, normally bundled, external software package, that
could optionally be used from either MacPorts or HomeBrew, the
configuration space grows threefold in size. How hard can it be to make
sure to drop some entries from PATH in the shells where one works on
LibreOffice?
