Add smartcd to homebrew

[simonweil]

Hi,

Firstly, thank you for a great and useful project - it really helps me in my day to day work!

I requested to add smartcd to homebrew, the package manager for OSX.

They replied that they require version release tagging in order to add smartcd to homebrew.

Would it be possible to do so? homebrew is very helpful for managing software on OSX (I use it for almost all my install software) and I'm sure smartcd will benefit from being on homebrew too by being more widely exposed.

You can view the issue here: Homebrew/legacy-homebrew#28473

Thanks for the feedback and report. I've been wanting to do this for a while (plus, package it for Debian as well)

Are there other requirements, or just a tag?

I'm not familiar with homebrew, is this a per-user installation facility or a system-wide one? One of my blockers for the Debian build was to finish system-wide installation.

Need a stable versioned tarball to begin; that may be all that is needed but I haven't looked into smartcmd's source itself.

Homebrew installs it system-wide in the default configuration. (The default prefix is /usr/local.) What's the issue with system-wide installation?

Abandoned years ago and I do not use smartcd anymore...
