ardmk-init missing from brew installed package

[alissa-huskey]

I installed Arduino-Makefile using MacOS homebrew. I went to find the ardmk-init script in $ARDMK_DIR/bin, but it's not there.

I went ahead and cloned the repo from git, so I've got the script now. But in case this was an oversight, I thought I'd let you know.

Yes, most the package installers (rightly) follow the releases. The last release was 1.5 years ago so it is quite out of date.

There was a push to get a release out and clearing out the outstanding PRs. Seems like a good time to issue a new version? @sudar @sej7278 ?

[alissa-huskey]

That's what I thought too. But the installed version is 1.6.0. Isn't that the current version?

$ brew info arduino-mk
sudar/arduino-mk/arduino-mk: stable 1.6.0, HEAD

/usr/local/Cellar/arduino-mk/1.6.0 (62 files, 219KB) *

	Install HEAD version
==> Caveats
To use the Arduino-Makefile, please add the following into your per-project Makefile

    include /usr/local/opt/arduino-mk/Arduino.mk

Also make sure you have the necessary dependencies installed. Refer to the Requirements section of the Arduino Makefile Readme file at https://github.com/sudar/Arduino-Makefile#requirements to install the dependencies.

Correct, but a version is something that a maintainer chooses to release; it's not the HEAD of the repository. Have a look here and you'll see 1.6.0 was issued in July 2017 - it's the master HEAD frozen at that time.

If you want to install the development version with homebrew, you can use brew install --HEAD arduino-mk

we'll organise a release in the new year, still trying to find what happened to the debian packager @maqifrnswa you there?

The changes to the upstream debian packaging scripts that are required (as well as the source tarball and changelog) are:
