Homebrew seems to install new versions side by side with old versions when upgrading outdated versions (brew upgrade
), at least I have a bunch of packages with multiple versions. How do I ensure that old versions are removed and not kept around when upgrading?
Is there support for auto-removal of outdated versions at all?
I do know about
cleanup
; what I was really wondering is if brew can be made to remove outdated versions automatically when upgrading instead. – aknuds1 – 2015-09-21T11:17:56.033install
in and of itself doesn't appear to have options for this. This might be a useful feature to request. – SaxDaddy – 2015-09-22T21:07:49.200I'd add that to your answer :) – aknuds1 – 2015-09-22T21:43:23.947
Ah cool, I see you updated the answer, thanks. – aknuds1 – 2015-09-25T04:56:23.710
@aknuds1, it appears that this has been implemented! Check out https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/pull/44305.
