Homebrew! #6

Closed laserlemon closed 9 years ago

laserlemon commented 11 years ago

Would be great to be able to install this on Macs via:

brew install whereami

It's not the first time I get this suggestion. I will look into it.

thanks victor

Hey, any news on that? I would love to use this, but I can't get it to compile on OSX 10.10,

thanks Hannes

well, according to Homebrew's Acceptable formulae guide:

We frown on authors submitting their own work unless it is very popular.

so, I might write the formula, but someone else would need to submit it, as I don't think this project is very popular yet.

Just out of curiosity, what is people using this tool for?

wfalkwallace commented 10 years ago

I've used it for git hooks (to make contribution graphs in projects like wdjc) as well as tracking my work and connectivity geolocation (run as a daemon, this is mostly just for fun and to build a dataset to practice some dataviz). I'm also working on an ubersicht widget to display the info on the desktop.

I can try to submit it, if it's ready in your mind -- how do updates happen then? do I submit and you maintain? or am I charged with maintaining then?

wfalkwallace commented 10 years ago

@reckter, what issues are you seeing? mine compiled fine. See #7 for some advice as well.

ladislas commented 9 years ago

you don't need to be in the main homebrew repo to allow your users to install it this way.

you can just create a tap https://github.com/victor/homebrew-whereami with the formula.

We'll just need to brew tap victor/whereami && brew install whereami and voila!

I can look into it if you want, just need to create the repo I can PR to.

victor commented 9 years ago

That's a very good point. I'll create a tap and upload it

victor commented 9 years ago

I've created a tap according to the docs but for some reason it isn't working. If any of you can add it (brew tap victor/whereami) and confirm whether you get the same result as I do (Tapped 0 formulae) I'd appreciate it

ladislas commented 9 years ago

@victor you don't have to fork homebrew to do that.

just create an empty repository called homebrew-whereami and I'll PR to it. ;)

here is an example of what we'll do. https://github.com/WeAreLeka/homebrew-avr

Thanks, I did as you suggested and it seems to work now. I already added the formula there – I had it working locally, just not within a tap yet. I will do a commit later today to refine the test method, but it can already be used to install it
