Add homebrew package about tailspin HOT 15 CLOSED

I've created a Homebrew package formula... tested & installed.
Will submit a PR.

Small issue:

• there's already a Formula named spin, which installs a spin binary.
• this can be handled with Homebrew's conflicts_with functionality, to prevent the install if the spin package is already installed.
• • may need to looking into linking tailpin spin to tailspin as a cleaner install.
• • ^^ depends on how @bensadeh feels about this.

Will also tweak formula for increased Homebrew compliance.

Update: temp Formula here: github.com/LaurentFough/ tailspin.rb

Download & Review (of course), then Install with:

$ brew install --formula <path_to>/tailspin.rb

A PR to add tailspin as formula to core has been merged. I haven't had a chance to test it, but in time the tap will be replaced with the core formula.

Thank you so much, @LaurentFough ! Can't believe how fast that was 🙏 .

It would be great if the package name could be tailspin and the binary name be spin. Is that possible?

Thanks @bensadeh
Ok - package is already named: tailspin.
See my previous comment about the conflicting spin package.

Would be cleaner for you to rename upstream as tailspin; rather than installing as spin and renaming...

I prefer spin as the binary name. Besides, tailspin is already a sort of builtin binary on macOS.

ok, then as is... the current formula will install and work as expected, and will warn/notify the user if they already have the other spin installed.

Thanks again @LaurentFough , really appreciate how quickly you managed to put this together 🙏

Thank you again @LaurentFough . Merged in #56 .

Honestly, I don't think this how homebrews tap system is meant to work. My suggestions were completely ignored. Also is there any automation for a version bump/update?

from tailspin.

Oh neat!

brew uninstall tailspin
brew untap bensadeh/tailspin
brew update
brew install tailspin

works!

Great, I will update the readme with the changes. Thanks for helping with the tap in the meantime @LaurentFough . Sorry your tap couldn't be used more, but it is easier for me to let the formula from core be maintained and updated there.

@qa-alexander-eimer That actually is how taps are supposed to work.
For 3rd-Party taps, anyway - the only missing ingredient was the provision of a homebrew-tailspin repo.
Everything else was compliant with Homebrew recommendations.

@bensadeh No worries; I prefer the submission to Homebrew-core as well.

If you're going to create an automation for release updates, let me know.
