Add SideServer to Homebrew Casks #11

Open arjpar opened 9 months ago

arjpar commented 9 months ago

Describe the feature

It would be useful to have SideServer installable via homebrew casks. You could install it by using:

brew install --cask sideserver

Use cases

It would ease the user experience by allowing a single command to install SideServer and also utilises the most used package manager for macOS. You can also install altserver via homebrew (but can't for sideserver) so this would close the gap.

I recently created a cask and submitted it to Homebrew as Pull Request. One reason for it to not be accepted is that SideServer-macOS is not a canonical repository and the maintainers of Homebrew have asked for the upstream to "unfork" the repository. Is this something that the maintainers of SideStore are willing to do?

"unforking" the SideServer-macOS repo should be doable, it's not directly forked from the AltStore repo anyway... it's actually forked from one of my personal repos where I initially did the git filtering to separate SideServer from the AltStore monorepo.

Great to hear. I'd be happy to finish the cask and submit it once it's done.
