[Request] Create Homebrew formula
xilopaint opened this issue · comments
Since v3 has a macOS stand-alone binary a Homebrew formula would be helpful for installation.
I would love to provide one (maybe that could even be used without the binaries), but I have no idea how and this release was an incredible ton of work as it stands and I didn't want to delay it any further.

I think the binary is a better choice than the former pip package but it can be even better if we can install it via Homebrew.
Agreed in general, but they do add a certain amount of complexity / wonkiness and more importantly aren't available for all possible platforms (notably ARM). I'd rather try Homebrew's builtin support for Python apps first.
Would you mind installing and testing brew install hynek/doc2dash/doc2dash for me?
(I know it's very slow 10 minutes here – I'll look into bottles when I have time for this again. The whole topic is somewhat overwhelming.)
I don't understand why brew install takes so long. Can't you just create a formula to download the binary from GitHub releases?
Not until someone bestows a Apple silicon Mac on me.
I'm trying to go the official way to package Python apps for Homebrew for now if just for the reason that it's plausible that other people / Homebrew would be opposed to binary blob-only kegs.
I've been able to build a bottle locally and trying to get it built it in CI now: https://github.com/hynek/homebrew-doc2dash/actions/runs/3052040702/jobs/4920976895
If I can make the work, it should accelerate the whole thing dramatically.
Please try again! 🤞
Pretty fast now. Will you wait for a M1 Mac to submit a formula to Homebrew Core?
I'll look into submitting when I have the emotional energy to learn another bureaucracy. 😅 I think I'll source an M1 bottle from someone trustworthy for now.
Hey @hynek, I'm getting this output when running brew doctor:

Warning: Some taps are not on the default git origin branch and may not receive
updates. If this is a surprise to you, check out the default branch with:
git -C $(brew --repo hynek/doc2dash) checkout main
Oof that looks like merge conflicts! I may have done a few force pushes when trying to figure things out and you were literally the first user of the tap. :( Can you somehow start over?
Can you somehow start over?
haha it's a good time to do it as I just got a brand new Mac.
Btw, should it work on a M2 Mac?
Um, I would assume? It has an M1 bottle.
