Make a Brew formula to install pond from the command line on a Mac in one command

Open FredericJacobs opened this issue 11 years ago • 4 comments

I think that it would be awesome for Mac users to be able to install (and update) Pond from the command line in a single brew command.

@agl, do you think making a brew formula for Pond is a good idea?

I think it would be a good idea to have a one liner to install it.

What I like about Brew is that it's build from source (no need to check binaries) and that you can check integrity from downloaded binaries in the formulas. Will work on that when I turn my Mac back on :)

Would you also have go configure people's go path variables?

You could build in a temporary directory and copy the executable like distributions do so frequently.

At present, there is a bug in all packaged go 1.3 distributions that I've seen, including Debian, Ubuntu, Homebrew, and MacPorts, that prevents agl's go-gtk from building, mattn's go-gtk builds fine, and agl's builds fine if you install go from golang.org manually. I doubt any one liners will work until that's fixed.

In any case, there is a binary distribution for Mac OS X on the main site : https://pond.imperialviolet.org/
