What were you trying to do (and why)?

What did you expect to happen?

git-annex should be installed …

Step-by-step reproduction instructions (by running brew commands)

brew update && brew install git-annex

There is no bottle available for arm. If you can compile it from source we can bottle it.

[carlocab]

git-annex has no bottle for ARM. This is because it needs ghc to build, but ghc doesn't work on ARM yet.

This is what the bottle block should look like for a formula that is bottled for ARM:

Oh, I see, M1 chips are ARM!

Thank you very much.

If you can compile it from source we can bottle it.

I’ll happily try this. What information do you need if it would work?

[carlocab]

It won't work. You need ghc to work on ARM, but it doesn't yet.

[fooness]

Thank you for elaborating.
