chore: add homebrew recipe

[cchacin]

I don't have experience on that but I'll do my best try

[cburgdorf]

That would be great!

[cchacin]

@cburgdorf we have two different approaches here:

• (easiest but not the better) Create a binary formula in hombrew-binary repository
• Create a source formula in hombrew repository, to do that we need:
  • Package the source as .tar.gz or something like that and must be available from URL. i.e. (Github releases can be a choice)
  • provide a installation tool like cmake (cargo is not available in rust 0.11.0), or better is to maintain a binary folder in this repository with the clog binary file

I have a branch with some advances: https://github.com/cchacin/homebrew/tree/clog

require "formula"

class Clog < Formula
  homepage "https://github.com/thoughtram/clog"
  url "http://blog.thoughtram.io/clog/0.2.0/clog"
  version "0.2.0"
  sha1 "5087032012bb92d7652059d7693e3df5c1833ac0"

  def install
    # Install files
    libexec.install Dir["*"]
    bin.install_symlink "#{libexec}/clog" => "clog"
  end

  def caveats; <<-EOS.undent
    Usage:
      clog [--repository=<link> --setversion=<version> --subtitle=<subtitle>
            --from=<from> --to=<to> --from-latest-tag]

    Options:
      -h --help               Show this screen.
      --version               Show version
      -r --repository=<link>  e.g https://github.com/thoughtram/clog
      --setversion=<version>  e.g. 0.1.0
      --subtitle=<subtitle>   e.g. crazy-release-name
      --from=<from>           e.g. 12a8546
      --to=<to>               e.g. 8057684
      --from-latest-tag       uses the latest tag as starting point. Ignores other --from parameter
    EOS
  end

  test do
    system "#{bin}/clog -h | grep #{version}"
  end
end

what do you think?

PR in homebrew-binary https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-binary/pull/153

[cburgdorf]

Looks good for now. We are still lacking a robust approach for generating the binaries. My plan is to generate binaries for all platforms and directly upload them somewhere without any manual work. But this seems to be especially tricky for windows.

Anyway, when this happens we could just change the formula to fetch the binary from somewhere else.

[cburgdorf]

Now that clog is on crates.io I wonder if we can revisit this issue? Will it be easier to come up with a formula now?

I've put up two pre-compiled binaries (OS X and Linux) on a VPS. I've got 1TB of transfer, so I don't mind hosting it there until I chew through that bandwidth.

http://wod.twentyfives.net/bin/clog/clog-v0.7.0_osx-x64.tar.gz
http://wod.twentyfives.net/bin/clog/clog-v0.7.0_linux-x64.tar.gz

If someone wants to make a clog-bin for Arch AUR that's possible too.

[kbknapp]

Also just added a windows binary

http://wod.twentyfives.net/bin/clog/clog-v0.7.0_windows-x64.zip

Which should take care of #12

[cburgdorf]

Yay, your hosted linux binaries just saved my ass 👍

[kbknapp]

👍

Now that cargo install is a thing, you can install via cargo install clog-cli

There is also cargo-brew which I believe is a cargo install like clone integrating with brew where you can install via cargo brew clog-cli

homebrew is still very much relevant to keeping a binary up to date :) Hope this issue will get some attention soon :)
