Moving binary file to something other than /usr/local/

[blogabe]

Don't know if #21372 will address my question, but is there a way to change the behavior of where a binary file, when included in an app bundle, gets copied?

My specific example is textmate. This line binary "#{appdir}/TextMate.app/Contents/Resources/mate" copies the mate binary, by default, into /usr/local/bin. But if I have homebrew installed under my home folder, then I'd prefer to have the mate binary get copied to ~/.homebrew/bin for example.

Is there an environmental or command line option that I've missed?

I think the binaries for cases like this should by default be installed to $(brew --prefix)/bin

#21372. That’s in the first page of issues, even. Please search before opening new issues.
