I made my own tap at https://github.com/PythonCoderAS/homebrew-nineanimator. If you want I can transfer the repo to the organization.

SuperMarcus commented 2 years ago

This is an interesting idea that is worth exploring. We can potentially build a Github action to automate this process as well.

PythonCoderAS commented 2 years ago

There is a way to automatically bump versions with minimal effort. But it'll require renaming the versions to not include "Build" in any file names.

Wouldn't this also allow installation onto Linux, too (and obviously *BSD)? I doubt that it would operate, but it'd be interesting.

PythonCoderAS commented 2 years ago

It won’t because the app is written in Swift, which only compiles on MacOS/iOS. On Aug 26, 2022, 6:42 PM -0400, BEEDELLROKEJULIANLOCKHART @.***>, wrote:

@PythonCoderAS, certain?

PythonCoderAS commented 2 years ago

I am certain unless someone invented a Swift compiler for Linux. All homebrew casks are MacOS only. On Aug 27, 2022, 8:14 AM -0400, BEEDELLROKEJULIANLOCKHART @.***>, wrote:

Irregardless of whatever or not Swift runs on Linux, I am 100% certain NineAnimator uses MacOS/iOS-only frameworks.

@PythonCoderAS is correct. This project currently uses UIKit, which is proprietary to Apple and only works on iOS (and macOS via macCatalyst) even though Swift can target non-Apple platforms. I know Homebrew has a Linux distribution, regardless, it is a package manager and doesn't care about the platforms that the package supports. If we are to make an official homebrew tap, then it will only contain packages for macOS.
