Mac package?

[orschiro]

Hey! :)

This is really cool, thank you!

Would it be possible to package this for Mac, i.e. to be installed via Homebrew?

Thanks for sharing.
I've never done that before. At first glance, I wouldn't see the advantage, as the program is already bundled. From the user's perspective, what would be the advantage?

Hi Olivier, Hmm, probably you're right. Just minor things I would say: - It's installed and placed correctly in the right directory. - You don't have to make it executable - You would receive automatic updates (like Homebrew)

I see. So as a dev, I simply have to create the "brew", so say "zoomdl is linked to this github repository", with a few bells and whistle? And when I release a new version, you get an easy update?

[orschiro]

Yep, that should be correct. :)

Sounds nice. But I don't have a OSX at hand to try. I'll try and do that from my Linux, and let you know. Would be great if you can crashtest that for me, when it's up.

[orschiro]

Happy to brew it, thanks! :)

I'm happy to test it also

[jacobrosenfeld]

Any update on this? I currently just dowload the .py file and manually copy it in into my /bin folder

[Battleman]

Sorry, nothing yet. I looked into that, and were honestly a bit lost, as I've never done that before. Got lost in the terminology (tap, brew, bottles,...). Also whether I should go for a third-party or apply to the core formulas. I'll look again sometime, but it's not on my priority list right now.

I had a go at this yesterday because I also wanted to install it via homebrew, the result is my pull request #83 and my formula repo here. See instructions there on how to install.

As far as I can see, it would also be easy to publish it on pypi from that state.

I am on macOS Big Sur and it works perfectly for my setup but it would be great if more people could test it.
