Do the brew*


I've long tried to position the Talos family as an upgrade path for Power Mac owners, and here's another way: the macOS Homebrew package manager has been ported to OpenPOWER.

The concept is a bit involved but most of the work has been done for you. To bootstrap Ruby requires building a version from the portable Ruby recipe, or you can borrow a ppc64le build and patch the vendor install script to find it. At that point you should be able to patch brew itself with the three patches linked in the instructions. We look forward to seeing these patches getting into Homebrew proper!
