FR: homebrew package #70

Closed Jamesking56 closed 8 years ago

Jamesking56 commented 8 years ago

Hello,

Would be great if I could install the papertrail CLI via Homebrew on OSX! Think we could add this?

Thanks.

How's that better than using gem, which needs to be installed anyway? Even as a homebrew user, it seems like extra package maintenance work for no effort, but I might be wrong. If I am, tell me the advantages :)

There are some precedents for this for ruby-based CLIs including the heroku toolbelt and github's hub (now go-based).

The main advantage is that if you are using a ruby switcher like RVM, chruby, etc you can use the CLI tool no matter what ruby you are in regardless of your current gemset, etc. Basically you don't have to care what the CLI is built in at all, you just install/upgrade it with homebrew and use it.
