I wasn't aware of this important page.  Nevertheless, I heard about the Yosemite install being long so I used the following workaround, as recommended here -> https://jimlindley.com/blog/yosemite-upgrade-homebrew-tips/

  sudo mv /usr/local ~/local
  install Yosemite
  sudo mv ~/local /usr

> Good Luck,

Do you see anything wrong in these data?

Thanks.

Guillaume
