Update homebrew package #43

Open r10r opened 2 years ago

Hi there,

I just discovered brightness and the version bbbe5a26cf8fc0496801c1af84cee9ba53f27a51 works fine for me. Thanks for sharing your work!

My specs:

MacOS Monterey 12.1
MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2019)
Radeon Pro 560X 4 GB

Unfortunately the version installed from homebrew is outdated and doesn't work properly. It would be nice if someone can update the homebrew package.

Wondering if anyone could help make this happen? I use Homebrew because I am too much of a numpty to know how to build / install / maintain from source code. Sadly, as mentioned, the outdated package on HB is not working.

Just a little update, anyone who might have also been intimidated by the process of 'building' … at least in this case, don't be. its literally as simple as just following the clear instruction on the main readme. do that, and brightness works. Still it would be nice to update Homebrew.

The Homebrew version doesn't work on Apple Silicon, so updating it will help a lot of people.

See my previous message, I found it VERY easy to install this without using homebrew, just by following the instructions here

I have installed it, but not everyone will know that. Most people will just install it via Homebrew and assume it no longer works. It's also easier to automate installing it when it's on Homebrew.

+1 though manual install worked fine
