Generally we merge such formula into their parent, eg. git.

Although agreed, that sucks. So maybe we'll not care so much in future.

Comment in 348f9ca:

Although to be fair, I should have put @dl behind an accessor. Ruby almost encourages you to be naughty sometimes.

Comment in 348f9ca:

I hate to say it. But this is why you don't just change things "because" ;)

tarball_path isn't that much better than dl anyway. At least dl suggested that the thing was downloaded, tarball_path could be the URL. Still I agree, dl sucked as a name. But if you're going to change the name of something, it should be much better.

Comment in 7fda03f:

No, it's undocumented I believe, bar the source code.

Comment in 7fda03f:

@mike we have a non implemented optional specification:

depends_on 'clucene' => :optional

:recommended is also allowed.

We should however use the full path to gzip.

Comment in cc2fcb1:

I agree that you can take DRY too far. DRY has most success for much used components/strings which are spread over large codebases. Reducing duplication by one 9 character string on the same line doesn't win you much, and in this case in the README where people should understand what the line does before they execute it, it reduced clarity.
