Need one more fork to make Homebrew formula
sugarjig opened this issue · comments
Hi all! I've made Homebrew formulae out of most of the libbitcoin repos, but there are still a few more to go, including this one. To get dependent repos to build (e.g. libbitcoin-node), I have to define libbitcoin-network as a "resource", which makes the build process a little bit more complicated. If I can define other Homebrew formulae as dependencies, it's easier.
In order to make a formula, Homebrew requires a repo to be "canonical," which means it needs either 20 watchers, 25 stars, or 20 forks. libbitcoin-network needs just one more fork! If any followers of this repo haven't forked it (or starred it), I would greatly appreciate it if you did! Or if you already have, please pass on the word!
Thanks in advance!
Maybe repost to the libbitcoin mailling list.
Will do! In the meantime, we got one more fork of this repo, so I'm off to make a Homebrew formula!
We need to get these into code generation.
Is there something I can do to help with that?
Related question: were the 3.4.0 releases of all the repos re-done? I've been having problems with mismatching shasums recently. Looking back, I upgraded the Homebrew formula to 3.4.0 on Dec. 17, but the release dates say Dec. 25.
Yes, sorry.
Ah, okay. That presents a bit of a problem for Homebrew. Their build system will refuse updates that merely change the shasum of a file. They consider it potentially malicious. Any chance we can make a v3.4.1 tag (or whatever version scheme you prefer)?
I’m about to tag 3.5.0 (current version3 head of each repo).
Even better!
All done.
Great! Thank you!
