Linuxbrew #36

Closed timmow closed 9 years ago

timmow commented 11 years ago

There is an experimental fork of homebrew to linux - which has the benefit of potentially including all the homebrew formulas, and may be integrated upstream at some point as it tries hard to keep compatible with the osx homebrew as much as possible.

How difficult would it be to integrate this rather than brew2deb?

Not sure if I understand your last question about integration. What do you mean by integrating brew2deb or linuxbrew? fpm-cookey does not depend on brew2deb.

I was referring to this line in the docs -

It's heavily inspired and borrows code from the great homebrew and brew2deb projects.

I was wondering how difficult it would be to integrate the linuxbrew fork, rather than using the code borrowed from homebrew / brew2deb - just seems a shame to duplicate code from these projects, especially if the linux version is accepted into homebrew upstream.

I am closing this because linuxbrew and fpm-cookery have different goals as far as I can see. fpm-cookery creates OS packages, linuxbrew is creating a separate package manager.

Please re-open if I got this wrong.
