This repo’s name is icorrect and confusing about homebrew-formulae

[vitorgalvao]

@claudiofantacci To be clear, I’m not mad or trying to be rude in the slightest. That is not my right, and far from me to ever think to lash out at you. You have been nothing but courteous.

If there was something you perceived as wrong in my tone, I apologise. I only aimed to be clear about the matter, not insulting or disrespectful.

[claudiofantacci]

That's ok @vitorgalvao , no worries at all, but thanks for your last message 😄

[claudiofantacci]

We have planned to change the name of the repository in the near future 😄
We linked this issue to a dedicated Milestone where more details are provided.

We schedule the renaming for tomorrow as YARP will have a new release.
Chosen name is homebrew-formulae

Hi @vitorgalvao , thanks for reaching out!

Thanks for your comments and suggestions.
We are super open to discussions and improvements 😄

I guess the confusion between formula and cask are caused by the fact that after building YARP you will get both CL executables and macOS apps.
Maybe we could rename the repo as homebrew-formulae.

@francesco-romano and @drdanz will be able to provide you a much more precise answer.

[vitorgalvao]

@claudiofantacci I understand your logic, but casks and formulae are different internally (how the ruby file is structured) and externally (how you interact with it, using brew cask or just brew). So they are defined by what they are, not what they install.

Even I was confused when I saw cask in the tap command and brew install (instead of brew cask install) in the installation command.

[claudiofantacci]

@vitorgalvao that's totally fine and understandable as well 😄
There will be no problem for reaching a solution that will accommodate all needs and, in particular, your observations.

We are always keen to improvements and your suggestions are super-welcome for us!
There has been a mistake, but we did not want to cause any trouble/confusion to anyone... 😮!
As soon as @francesco-romano and @drdanz will reach us here we will do the proper changes 👍

Would homebrew-formulae be clearer?

[vitorgalvao]

Would homebrew-formulae be clearer?

Definitely. But anything else will be clearer, really. cask is the one word that causes confusion because it muddles the meaning (to something else that exists but isn’t what the repo contains).

[claudiofantacci]

Ok ok 😕 ...
I see that this caused troubles to you, but mistakes can happen.

Done
