Homebrew does not have a formula for Grumpy

Homebrew/homebrew-core#9213

Does anyone know how the homebrew installer for Mac OSX works? I spent an few hours trying to build a formula to install Grumpy based on these examples but I failed.

Thanks for digging into this! I don't have any experience with homebrew formulae, but you may be able to build on the make install target that was recently added. Based on the cookbook page I would expect an install step like this might work:

  def install
    system "make", "DESTDIR=#{prefix}", "install"
  end

I am still plugging away on this one but I seem to be blocked by issue #210

Here is my (up and stumbling) homebrew formula (grumpy.rb) so far...

Should be fixed when Homebrew/homebrew-core#9299 is accepted.

[trotterdylan]

Great! Thanks for doing this.

The good news is that the formula now works flawlessly. The bad news is homebrew does not accept --HEAD only installs so this will need to remain open until there is a Grumpy release.

Ah, that's a bummer. Thanks for working on this anyway. I think an alpha release is not that far out.

Any update on a release @trotterdylan ?

Sorry, no specific plans for an alpha release at the current time.
