fermyon / homebrew-tap Goto Github PK

per notes in #13 and #15 , now that brew install fermyon/tap/bart resolved & working, I'll quickly update the spin Formula to use version-validation test style, like the bart Formula uses

Installing spin via homebrew was a real joy. I'd like to have a tap for bart, too.

Were this request to be officially implemented, then documentation should be updated, too. Like the Bartholomew quickstart page installation instructions.

And while I've not-yet made a homebrew tap, I am always willing to learn something new. So I am going to fork this repo and see what I can break on my computer. Yay! \o/

No promises, but I expect that I will give this a go later tonight and/or tomorrow. Cheers!

hey hello there,

It would be great to have a tap with spin and properly install it through homebrew.
Are you moving forward with this?

In any case, thank you for your work and time!

Trying to upgrade the brew package, I get this error:

Aborting

Warning: The post-install step did not complete successfully

Spin got upgraded, but not the plugins. If I remove the .spin-plugins directory and run a reinstall it completes successfully.

Should we support older pinned versions of Spin?

A brew install fermyon/tap/spin will always install latest but specific versions could be targeted with brew install fermyon/tap/spin@N where V is version (i.e. 1.3). Each older pinned version would live in it's own formula named [email protected].

How do we ensure that a pinned version install conflicts with a latest version already installed? Homebrew supports a conflicts_with directive but it seems more targeted at other brew packages rather than the native binary.

Many projects only support latest, like Nomad as discussed here.
