Available for homebrew?

[sobolevn]

this need to be a brew formula. @taylor, do you want any help with creating it?

[rjcoelho]

I can help, but please create a release since homebrew/head-only is deprecated.

Also homebrew mandates all files are installed in /usr/local, so kiex should able to run from anywhere and lazy setup (create necessary temp folders for instance) on first run. This is how kerl does it.

Check https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/cab35040bc22c636c3a1040a7dca894b77c782c1/Formula/kerl.rb

@sobolevn @rjcoelho I'd like to have the install go to the user home directory by default while adding support for the /usr/local install for homebrew. The kerl formula does not seem to specify /usr/local so I assume it is has the install prefix path set somewhere else during the kerl build or install process.

@taylor need a tarball release (homebrew head-only is deprecated) and it would be nice to have bash and zsh completions, see https://github.com/kerl/kerl/blob/master/bash_completion/kerl

Apart from missing tags (or releases), there's also an issue with self-updating. brew does not allow to add such packages to the main index. So there are basically two ways:

1. Remove this feature
2. Maintain a custom tap (preferable, I think)

Here's a custom tap example: https://github.com/sobolevn/homebrew-tap

@rjcoelho sorry, but I don't get this line: https://gist.github.com/rjcoelho/9e7e16cf3ac9ab8845aa8a2cca2718f1#file-kiex-rb-L13

[rjcoelho]

One vote to remove self updating feature, that it what package managers are for

@sobolevn that line is needed to install but I would prefer that be done by kiex it self on first run (lasy initiation)

Any progress on this one?
