branching

[schmurfy]

Hi,
I was curious how you would handle the case where conditional code is required, something like

if something is installed then
  install this
else
  install that

It can be done, but it should be done in Bash code, not Ruby. Perhaps:

queue %{
  if which -s java; then
    npm install -g jcoffeescript
  else
    npm install -g coffeescript
  fi
}
# (Hypothetical example. There isn't a jcoffeescript package, if you're wondering.)
