[request] submit homebrew for macOS?
hi! it would be great to have this available via homebrew for macOS so one can install it using just brew install ddcctl
I am happy to make the brew formula but we need to start tagging versions. @kfix Can you make a version tag for the repo? See formula requirements regarding versioning here -> https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/blob/master/docs/Formula-Cookbook.md#basic-instructions
it is still very buggy at this point and nightshift has lessened the need for it.
will consider tagging once it isn't such a crash maker and apple provides a stable API to differentiate monitors.

Why do you say nightshift has lessened the need for it? I'd really love to get a built-in Apple solution, but it doesn't seem to be a priority for them... like ever. Last year I talked to some kernel engineers to figure out if I can avoid polling and get called by the system when ambient light changes, but they had no idea about it - seems another team was handling that.
I think we'll at least need on-the-fly vendor detection implemented (#57 ) before going "GA" and tagging releases. We don't want the formula to have to build GPU specific targets.
https://github.com/kfix/ddcctl/releases/tag/v0 is up and is a single binary.
user-definable DDC delays and other safeties should be implemented for v1.
I don't plan to do semver on this - upgraders beware!
