Homebrew Formula

[ghost]

I've noticed that this project is not (yet) available via Homebrew for macOS and one would have to use git or manually keep Podget up-to-date on the Mac.

So I'd like to know whether you have any plans on providing a Homebrew formula.

Sorry for the delay responding but I was hoping one of the users of Podget on Mac OS would jump in.

I personally have no plans to provide a Homebrew formula as I do not own a Mac to test on, nor am I familiar with producing one. So if there is interest in making one available, it will be necessary for someone in the community to step forward and guide us through the process.

For the record, the only reason I include Debian package resources is because I happen to use Debian. Podget packages for all other distributions have been produced and maintained by other people.

Now I will leave this issue open and see if we generate any interest....

@ghost I followed instructions at https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/blob/master/docs/Formula-Cookbook.md Below is my Homebrew formula. Be aware of the following:

• Homebrew guidelines prevent @dvehrs from packaging his own project
• Homebrew is ported to Linux (and Wii), but few use it.
• brew install --verbose --debug podget fails, likely due to Makefile overwriting existing /usr/local/bin/podget ; a little rewrite is needed.
• brew audit --new-formula podget fails:
• • The packager would need to create v0.8.5.tar.gz (latest as of writing) on her own cloned github repo
• • podget has <30 forks, <30 watchers and <75 stars; as asked by Homebrew. It may be possible to create a Tap(?) until acceptance criteria are met

Formula:

class Podget < Formula
  desc "Podcast aggregator optimized for running as a scheduled job (i.e. cron)"
  homepage "https://github.com/dvehrs/podget"
  url "https://github.com/dvehrs/podget/archive/v0.8.5.zip"
  sha256 "8ffaf8779b62942002ccef195ed1ea5bd73074a7272d83254e6d4aa8763a3994"

  def install
    system "make", "install"
  end

  test do
    # system "./podget"
    system "true"
  end
end
