Background

Homebrew is a MacOSX Package Manager. Currently it is the younger of the Package Managers available[1][2].







What is Homebrew doing behind the scenes

Essentially by using Homebrew, one can automatically:

download the source code directly from SVN

runs: svn switch svn://scribus.net//trunk/Scribus /Library/Caches/Homebrew/scribus--svn-HEAD svn up --force /Library/Caches/Homebrew/scribus--svn-HEAD

download the dependencies Scribus needs to compile

run the compiler on the source with the appropriate flags

generate the Scribus executable

Builds the code with cmake

install Scribus executable by placing it in /usr/local/Cellar/
