 > OK, so sorry for noise here.

 No problem.

 > What I wrote was applicable in the past. Now, while looking into the
 internal documentation for MacOS-based customer (which may become part of
 rtems doc, just don't know where to put it nor had a time to submit/merge)
 I see these asciidoc paragraphs:

 I will update the User Manual once we have the patches attached to this
 ticket.

 Homebrew is optional in my view and not mandatory.

 Python from Homebrew is an option for python but that will be a per user
 choice. The end goal is building with Xcode and python.org. The `texinfo`
 package may be added like `gsed` has been. I am not sure we even need
 `makeinfo` any more.

 Adding a link is personal choice. I prefer we document using virtual
 environments.
