#624 Homebrew Package (macOS)

homebrew is a macos package manager. I have created a package for pijul. The package is not ready to be merged into homebrew, though I’m willing to do that. Install with brew install hybras/tap/pijul

Pros:

  • Simplifies macos install (brew is popular on macos and likely to be installed)
  • Installs dependencies

Cons:

  • Updates will have to come through brew. This is because cargo is only used as a build tool
    • Adds maintenance burden (not necessarily on pijul devs) to update package.
    • The easiest thing to do would be running brew bump-formula-pr pijul --version=$VERSION. IDK how pijul’s ci works tho.
