Add to Homebrew Cask #86

Open GeQi opened 5 months ago

Is it possible to publish cpdf to the package manager Homebrew as a cask? It does not ask for a free license. See

Looking at the list of possible rejection criteria, we see:

program is both open-source and CLI-only (i.e. it only uses the binary artifact). In that case, and [in the spirit of deduplication](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/issues/15603), submit it first to [homebrew/core](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core) as a formula that builds from source. If it is rejected, you may then try again as a cask (link to the issue from your pull request so we can see the discussion and reasoning for rejection).

So it looks like it would have to be a built-from-source formula. I'll take a look for the next release.
