Can you tag & update releases so that Homebrew formula can be updated?

Hi, I know many people are using homebrew to install goenv which relies on a tag and release system. Would you consider to adopt a more formal tagging procedure so that Homebrew formula could rely on and get updated.

Thank you.

Yea, brew version is very outdated

Agree that I'd love to see goenv 2.0 be available in Homebrew, and this isn't a goenv problem to solve.

It looks like the goenv formula in Homebrew stopped updating ~Jan 2019 sticking with 1.23.3 as goenv made the switch to 2.0.0beta1. Homebrew's goenv formula could pick up the release builds for 2.0.0beta11 but haven't chosen to.

If you're looking for the update so you can build the latest versions of go (which is why I was here), you should:

  • brew install goenv --head

If you're genuinely looking for goenv 2.0 via Homebrew, I'd recommend:

  • Submit a goenv2 formula to Homebrew, targeting 2.0.0beta11. That tag's a fair distance behind HEAD since it was released June 2019, but it's still goenv 2.0
  • Lobby @syndbg to cut a newer release so you can update to it.

Hey, released 2.0.0, which I believe has enough new changes/features to warrant doing so.
