Add Linuxbrew bundle #2071

Open WSLUser opened 4 years ago

WSLUser commented 4 years ago

Official package name: Linuxbrew aka Homebrew for Linux

License (must be an OSI approved Open Source license): BSD 2-Clause "Simplified" License

Download URL of latest release: https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/releases

Latest release date (must be recent): 08/10/2020

Description: Homebrew installs the stuff you need that Apple (or your Linux system) didn’t. Homebrew installs packages to their own directory and then symlinks their files into /usr/local. Homebrew won’t install files outside its prefix and you can place a Homebrew installation wherever you like.

This is heavily maintained and has a very frequent release schedule. I would recommend ensuring the bundle follows a script similar to this one from a custom-WSL distro starting here: https://github.com/WhitewaterFoundry/pengwin-setup/blob/master/pengwin-setup.d/brew.sh#L20. Brew is written in ruby so we'll need to include the minimal ruby dependencies for building if they're not already installed on a user's OS.

Ping. Any updates for this?

This looks like something they expect end users to install themselves as far as I am reading off their installation instructions.

True but some distros provide it out of box anyways. Pengwin is not the only one.

I can back this with Universal Blue/Bazzite images as they include homebrew, so it's nice to have this inside clear linux's repos
