"No available formula" error from tapped repository about puppet-homebrew HOT 5 CLOSED

I had a similar issue with zlib on my osx install. Ended up working around by untapping homebrew/dupes, then removing the repo entirely, then re-tapping it again. After that, zlib was found properly.

I realize this is an old issue report, but I recently ran into these exact same symptoms with the current Boxen (BOXEN_SETUP_VERSION fd2ae87, Puppet 3.6.1) whenever I tried installing one of the Josegonzales PHP versions, like josegonzales/homebrew-php/php54.

Since I kept stumbling upon this post, I'd like to leave my workaround here for anyone experiencing the same issues. Using the install_options parameter, you can indicate that the system's existing zlib (present by default on osx) should be used:

exec { "tap-homebrew-dupes":
    command => "brew tap homebrew/dupes",
    creates => "${homebrew::config::tapsdir}/homebrew-dupes",
}

exec { "tap-josegonzalez-homebrew-php":
    command => "brew tap josegonzalez/homebrew-php",
    creates => "${homebrew::config::tapsdir}/josegonzalez-php",
    require => Exec["tap-homebrew-dupes"],
}

package { "php54":
    ensure => present,
    require => [
        Exec["tap-josegonzalez-homebrew-php"]
    ],
    install_options => '--with-zlib-dir=/usr/include'
}

Instead of --with-zlib-dir=/path/to/system/zlib you could also use --without-zlib to skip around any issues. That's probably not such a good idea though, since many other packages require zlib's compression algorithms.

@aapit Have you tried the boxen PHP module? It may be easier for you than running execs, and supports multiple versions 😄

@mattheath I did look it over, but never realized it was this elaborate until now.
My php setup contains extensions like ssh2, which I so far only found out of the box in josegonzales' repo. But since the more manual Homebrew setup keeps running me into trouble, I'm giving puppet-php another go. So thanks!
