Homebrew

[notDavid]

Hi there,

would be useful to be able to install / update via Homebrew.

Also convenient for people to track this issue to know when it's closed / implemented... :-)

Thank you!

This will probably have to be a cask as building from source requires Deno. I will see if I can get this working, but I am having an error I have never seen before

@AngelaDMerkel Thank you very much. I've never released sofware on Homebrew (and co.). Your help would be really precious. Don't hesitate to ping me if you need any help from me.

@gildas-lormeau I have no clue what I am doing either and their documentation is pretty poor from my point of view. You can see the pull request here if you want to check on its progress. It looks like it has passed most of the checks.

@gildas-lormeau Instead of using your precompiled binaries brew has asked me to write a small ruby package definition, which I have done and it successfully builds the single-file binary, but it appears that this binary still depends on single-file-launcher.js which doesn't get moved to homebrew's bin. Am I making a mistake in the compile process, or is it normal that building with Deno results in the need for these secondary files?

[gildas-lormeau]

@AngelaDMerkel That's strange. Could you give me a link to the related code? By the way, thank you again for your work, I read the thread but was a bit overwhelmed by the terms, not being used to homebrew and its ecosystem.

@gildas-lormeau I've resolved it now, and all the build and run test are passing in my PR Homebrew/homebrew-core#168436

I am not sure they will merge given that I always fail their commit style test. I have no clue what I am doing incorrectly, but hopefully someone will just approve it and it'll be merged

[gildas-lormeau]

@AngelaDMerkel That's a great news :) Did you try to add an explanation for the commit as documented here https://docs.brew.sh/Formula-Cookbook#commit ? The complete commit message could be be for example:

single-file 2.0.29 (new formula)

adds formula for single-file CLI tool

Having this done would be awesome. Anyone dares to vibe code the Homebrew addition or should I try? 😅 I don't have any prior experience adding things to Homebrew.

@honzajavorek You can give it a try if you have a little time to spare and are interested. The most important thing is to document the process so that someone else can take over if necessary.
