Brew formula

[MartinDelille]

I don't know if there is some apple script on homebrew but it would be a cool way to install your project!

I asked here: https://discourse.brew.sh/t/apple-script-on-homebrew/2673

I don't think Apple Script would be a problem, but the fact that it's a self-submiting formula might be one. The following is quoted from Homebrew's official documentation < https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/blob/master/docs/Acceptable-Formulae.md> regarding "Niche (or self-submitted) stuff":

"""

The software in question must:

• be maintained (i.e. the last release wasn't ages ago, it works without patching on all supported macOS releases and has no outstanding, unpatched security vulnerabilities)
• be known
• be stable (e.g. not declared "unstable" or "beta" by upstream)
• be used
• have a homepage

We will reject formulae that seem too obscure, partly because they won’t get maintained and partly because we have to draw the line somewhere.

"""

So perhaps adding this formula to a Homebrew Tap would be a simpler solution.

I'll try first to submit it to https://github.com/homebrew/homebrew-core/

I'm thinking about basing myself on a shell script formula like this one: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/ppss.rb

A requirement would be to have a release. Is it possible to create a 1.0 tag release for this project?

[MartinDelille]

Reading at the latest discourse comment, it doesn't seems to respect the Is maintained condition since the latest commit is 10 month ago.

@dronir Can we get this project back on track?

To be honest, I don't have a lot of interest in maintaining this at the moment, nor do I feel like it needs a lot of maintenance. It's something I wrote in about ten minutes many years ago and I don't use it anymore. There's not a lot of room for improvements to it either, since we can't get more info or control out of the Spotify app than it already implements, so new features would just be different ways to do what it already does. I do try to keep it working if some changes break it and I do accept pull requests to fix bugs, and sometimes (rarely) to add features if they seem particularly useful.
