homebrew formula

[cemo]

It would be nice to be integrated into homebrew.

yep, that would be great, (un)fortunately I don't have a Mac, but I'll tag this issue with help wanted.

@gchaincl i am on this one, currently creating formula.

Homebrew/homebrew-core#12351 waiting to PR to be merged.

[qustavo]

Thanks for doing this @m1ome

[gwerbin]

It looks like the PR was rejected due to not having thorough enough post-install tests. Is there something better than httplab -version? It seems the Homebrew team is OK with that kind of test only if there isn't a more thorough alternative.

[qustavo]

@gwerbin can you give me more context? What kind of test are they expecting to have?
PS: Never used brew before

[gwerbin]

I'm not sure what they mean. You did the right thing by asking in that thread.

[qustavo]

@m1ome any progress on this?

[gwerbin]

They're looking for some way (other than httplab -version to test that the installation went well.

[qustavo]

Isn't that enough?

Evidently not, but if you can't find a better test that can be encoded in a Ruby script then your best bet is to make a case to the maintainer (the user "ilovezfs") that it's fine as-is. If not, I have an alternative tap (https://github.com/gwerbin/homebrew-tap) for software that I personally use, so I could host it there in the interim. Mind you, I'm not much of a FOSS maintainer myself so I can't guarantee it will always be up-to-date.
