Here the requested GIST.

I added a bottle for 10.11.x in b1b396c. Does brew update && brew install bup produce a package that behaves as expected for you?

[DomT4]

Let me know if we can help further here, Thanks!

[PeterPablo]

I just tested this and now installation worked without a problem. Thank you @DomT4!

Is there any way to install bup with documentation without building bup? I can install the bottle just fine, but there are no man pages:

leewalsh@warbler ~> bup help save
No manual entry for bup-save
leewalsh@warbler ~ [1]> man bup
No manual entry for bup

I see there is an option --with-pandoc, but that seems to imply building bup, which fails in a (maybe) similar fashion as in @PeterPablo's post, with the "can't run cpp as a pipeline" error. Is there any way to install the man pages with the bottle? I really don't care about building bup, but having the help at my fingertips would be nice. If I can figure out how to do it, I'd be happy to add it to the formula.

Here's the output, and logs gist:

leewalsh@warbler ~ [1]> brew remove bup
Uninstalling /usr/local/Cellar/bup/0.27... (67 files, 469.6K)
leewalsh@warbler ~> brew install --with-pandoc bup

Is there any way to install bup with documentation without building bup?

No. We don't really support the option where people don't want the tool installed but want the documentation for it because it's a little niche.

We've run into this a few times but I can't reproduce locally and I can't recall that we've ever been able to narrow down a reproducible case in every circumstance. A full brew gist-logs bup may be helpful there.

Thanks for your reply @DomT4 !

No. We don't really support the option where people don't want the tool installed but want the documentation for it because it's a little niche.

I meant installing the docs alongside using a bottle ... I do want the tool installed :) It seems other bottled formulae come with man pages.. e.g.:

leewalsh@warbler ~> brew info git
git: stable 2.7.1 (bottled), HEAD
...
/usr/local/Cellar/git/2.7.1 (1,408 files, 236.3M) *
  Poured from bottle
leewalsh@warbler ~> brew list git
...
/usr/local/Cellar/git/2.7.1/share/man/ (178 files)

If it's easy to add this to bottles, I would be interested in contributing that to bup. Otherwise I will try just manually copying the bup man pages into my own manpath.

I can't find any more logs than what I posted originally. I ran it again as brew gist-logs -v bup but the output looks the same, and gist-logs is not covered in man brew. Is there more I can do to help/investigate?
