replace Brewfile with shell script

[travi]

it looks like the brew team is removing the Brewfile capability (Homebrew/legacy-homebrew#30815). Need to find a different approach for the Brewfile (and probably the Caskfile as well). A shell script is probably the simplest replacement.

I've got the same problem. I'm thinking about using Ansible for this. The homebrew Module and the homebrew_cask Module look good.

Maybe useful for you?

@simono, I've heard good things about Ansible. I haven't had a need for my bootstrap process to go quite to the level of that or puppet yet, but I agree, it is at least something to keep in mind as things like this might drive me in that direction.

I'm sad to see this go. There is always the original brewdler gem. It's a different syntax though. Maybe the author will start maintaining it again.

this may be a good example script to follow if I do end up having to make this change
