Brew: var and etc symlinked

[jamoore]

Minimally, brew --prefix omero/var should be symlinked to brew --prefix/var/omero and brew --prefix omero/etc should be symlinked to brew --prefix/etc/omero.

There may be a more "brew-like" way to accomplish this, by putting log files in the "right" place, etc.

Linking step of new omero formula results in:

• $(brew --prefix omero)/var being symlinked to $(brew --prefix)/var
• $(brew --prefix omero)/etc being symlinked to $(brew --prefix)/etc
• $(brew --prefix omero)/lib being symlinked to $(brew --prefix)/lib

Do we still need to create the omero subfolders?

[jmoore]

Sorry, I haven't checked out your latest yet, but I think it should look like this:

  /usr/local/var/omero --> /usr/local/Cellar/omero43/4.3/var/
  /usr/local/etc/omero --> /usr/local/Cellar/omero43/4.3/etc/
  ...

Would be great if a brew upgrade omero would persist the configuration when possible.

josh 20130426 10:41 Kenny (sbesson): that would only work if we copied the config for it off to etc and then symlinked it (or similar)

Josh 20130426 10:41: could do the same for var/log for example, /usr/local/var/omero
