Brew installation is very slow

[niosega]

Environment

• ggshield version:
• Operating system (Linux, macOS, Windows): Ubuntu & MacOS
• Operating system version: Ubuntu 22.04 / macOS 13
• Python version: 3.11.6 (for both linux and macos)

Describe the bug

When installing ggshield using brew, the process is very slow both on linux and macos. It can take up to 20 minutes on some machine. The average is around 4 to 5 minutes.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Remove package if already installed
2. Run command brew install gitguardian/tap/ggshield

Of course, I am ready to help you diagnose / improve the process if needed !

This is because brew rebuilds all dependencies, and that now includes the cryptography package, which takes a long time to build.

I don't think there is a way around this when using Homebrew, though I would be happy to be proven wrong.

Using pipx to install and update ggshield is faster because pipx uses pre-compiled wheels for all ggshield dependencies.

Closing this as we can't do much for now.
