can not install tsocks

$ brew search tsocks

$ brew install tsocks
Error: No available formula for tsocks

[mistydemeo]

tsocks isn't available in the master branch of homebrew - it's in adamv's homebrew-alt. You need to tap that repo to install it:

brew tap adamv/alt

Then you should be able to brew install tsocks.

Since the formula isn't in the main repo, please file a ticket at homebrew/alt if you have trouble building it.

That tap is no longer available

@adamv Thanks

`require': no such file to load -- formula

[ddehghan]

the full instruction is

copy adamv's formula to /usr/local/Library/Formula/tsocks.rb

then

brew install --HEAD tsocks

[remohammadi]

Why tsocks is not included in the main repository? Is it because of some security problem? Or nobody has suggested it via pull request yet?

[adamv]

@remohammadi it was removed from core because it was (A) a head-only formula and (B) a fork of the original project.
