Homebrew integration/tap
ccoVeille opened this issue · comments
Do you have any plan to support homebrew install?
It's a convenient way to make your tool available for everyone, and it helps to keep the tool up to date
Don't forget how people are lazy 😁
Hello (again)!
Yes it will be published on homebrew and some other easy-accces packet managers as long as the v1.0.0 comes out (soon I hope)
My first target will simply be cargo, so that you can do something like cargo install atac
I am one of those lazy peope :))
Update: you can now install/update it with cargo install atac
Link to the crates.io for lazy people: https://crates.io/crates/atac
I'll also try with homebrew, nix and some others
@ccoVeille ok ok ok
I think I got it to work, but unfortunatly I don't have a mac :(
Can you try it and give me some feedback?
brew tap julien-cpsn/atac
brew install atac
PS: In case you wonder (which is normal) here is the homebrew repo https://github.com/Julien-cpsn/homebrew-atac
I don't have a mac either. If I have a lot of money to spend without consideration, it won't be for a mac, haha
You can find the tutorial here https://brew.sh/ it works perfectly on Linux
Everything is good except the atac permission
❯ ls -la /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/Cellar/atac/0.11.2/bin/atac
.r--r--r-- 23M /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/Cellar/atac/0.11.2/bin/atac
But even with executable it doesn't work
❯ chmod +x /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/Cellar/atac/0.11.2/bin/atac
❯ atac
exec: Failed to execute process: '/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/atac' the file could not be run by the operating system.
@ccoVeille I am a noob to brew... Should I put the universal-linux archive or the universal-apple archive into the brew tap?
(speaking of the archives from my releases)
I have never packaged something into brew, I'm unsure I can help.
I would say you have to do both, one for making the program available for Mac users and one for Linux ones
Ok I think I figured it out!
Delete the previous formula and try this one
brew tap julien-cpsn/atac
brew install atac
Works for both my WSL2 and VPS (Debian)
It works well. 👍
Where is the code you used to package it with homebrew?
Where is the code you used to package it with homebrew?
The atac-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz in https://github.com/Julien-cpsn/ATAC/releases/tag/v0.11.2 which is built by https://github.com/Julien-cpsn/ATAC/blob/main/.github/workflows/release.yml
This is how the binaries are built. My point was more to know where you told brew a tap was available.
I found it
I'm unsure how you could make this automatic via a GitHub action.
I think it's possible with a little home-made script that can publish to every platform. Because even if it doesn't seems like, it's a long process to publish a release.
I confirm it works as expected

Now I only have to automate it
Yes! The famous "just" ™️ and "only"™️, two development buddies that can lead to work a lot to achieve it.
