@SMillerDev only the commit of the suggestion is not passing, but since it will be autosquashed that should not be a problem I'd assume. Or do I need to squash them manually?

Hi @SMillerDev @chenrui333,

I’m a bit confused about how the review process for this Formula is progressing. It feels like many of the issues raised could have been addressed earlier, perhaps during the initial review of this PR or even in the previous attempt to merge it https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/172734.

Just to clarify, I’m not a developer at LocalAI—I’m simply a user trying to contribute to the project by making installation on Mac easier via Homebrew. However, I’m not an expert in Python, macOS, LocalAI, or Homebrew, so some of the technical issues raised are beyond my expertise.

I’m more than willing to make changes if I understand exactly what’s needed. At the moment, the back-and-forth process feels inefficient, and I would appreciate more guidance to help me move this forward. I opened the original PR back in May, and I think we could have made more progress by now.

I understand you’re likely very busy, so I’m not demanding anything here—just asking for some support if you’re able to provide it. If not, I may need to consider closing this PR since I don’t have unlimited time to keep working on it without clear direction. The current formula works fine for me, and I’m able to run LocalAI on my own machine. My goal was simply to make things easier for the community, and I still believe this would benefit from being part of Homebrew. That said, I’m happy for someone with more expertise to take over and improve it in the future.

Thanks again for your time, and I look forward to your feedback.

@mauromorales, thanks for your first contribution to Homebrew! :tada: 🥇

Without awesome contributors like you, it would be impossible to maintain Homebrew to the high level of quality users have come to expect. Thank you!!!!
