@hugoholgersson: Would you like to take a stab at obsoleting this PR? 🙃

MightyCreak commented 1 year ago

Should I close this PR and open an issue to find a way to use diffuse in the command-line on macOS?

Also, with the new #181, maybe it's been fixed??

hugoholgersson commented 1 year ago

Landing sounds good to me. This extra info is good to expose in the documentation.

MightyCreak commented 1 year ago

Ok, then I think this information should indeed be in the "Installation" section in docs/users.md.

The docs/developers/developers-setup.md file is reserved to developers wanting to compile Diffuse locally in order to contribute to Diffuse repo eventually.

Regular users should have simpler ways to install Diffuse. On Linux, it's through their distribution packet managers or Flatpak. On macOS, I guess it's available with Homebrew?

hugoholgersson commented 1 year ago

Sure, we could move the entire Note to the user docs.

Diffuse was not available in Homebrew last time I checked. It should be straightforward to add it though. I read somewhere that Homebrew has built-in helpers for apps that follow standard Meson conventions. I hope and think someone will pick it up soon.

@chenrui333 tried to add Diffuse in Homebrew in #145, but I don't know why it didn't get in the Homebrew repo. I had to close this PR eventually as it was stalling.

We can give it another try, the only reason was I did not spend enough time on it.

My inbox is flooded, email might be a better reach.

Hi!

So, how are we on this PR? it seems that the new PR on Homebrew's side has been closed again :confused:
