Planck 1.0

[derekslager]

This is a New Formula, Planck is a self-contained ClojureScript REPL.

Is this a binary? If it is, and it can't be built from source, we have a homebrew-binary repository that might be a better fit.

I see this is a binary. Can this be built from source?

[derekslager]

Source is available at https://github.com/mfikes/planck

I can work with the author to provide a versioned URL.

[mistydemeo]

Thanks! If they tag a release, we could use the Github tarball and make the formula build from source.

[derekslager]

Got it, thanks!

[derekslager]

The build has some external dependencies, so in current form this is probably a better fit for homebrew-binary. I will relocate it there.

Assuming I wanted to put together a "build from source" build, are formulas which pull large external repositories and interact with systems such as CocoaPods discouraged?

[mistydemeo]

Not necessarily, though it's easier if we can fetch those dependencies using Homebrew's mechanisms. Take a look at Go recipes like packer, for example; Homebrew manages fetching and staging the go deps instead of using go get.

[derekslager]

Thanks. Moved to https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-binary/pull/256

[dunn]

Just to be clear, if it can be built from source, even if it's a bit involved, then it should be here, not in homebrew-binary.

Thanks, Alex, I'm working with the author on this.
