Homebrew tap to install vmfloaty against Homebrew's Ruby

homebrew-vmfloaty: install vmfloaty as a standalone app

How do I use this?

mckern@flexo ~ $ brew tap mckern/vmfloaty
==> Tapping mckern/vmfloaty
<blah blah blah>
mckern@flexo ~ $ brew install vmfloaty
<blah blah blah>
mckern@flexo ~ $ floaty -h
WARNING: There was no config file at /Users/mckern/.vmfloaty.yml
  NAME:

    floaty

  DESCRIPTION:

    A CLI helper tool for Puppet Labs vmpooler to help you stay afloat
<blah blah blah>
mckern@flexo ~ $

Why would I use this?

vmfloaty is a fantastic client for the Puppet vmpooler application. But Ruby is kinda trash for installing standalone applications in unpoluted environments. Great news though! Homebrew is pretty solid at wrapping up applications with funky dependencies or wonky runtimes. Snip-snip-snip, Bob's your uncle, and here's a Homebrew tap for your troubles!

Support & contribution?

In the spirit of Jordan Sissel (a hero to admins and operations people everywhere), if homebrew-vmfloaty isn't helping you float some VMs, then there is a bug in homebrew-vmfloaty. Please open an issue or submit a pull request if something doesn't work.
