homebrew formula for Lepton.app ?

[Fil]

Please consider adding a brew formula. One issue is that brew already has https://github.com/dropbox/lepton as lepton.

Ha-ha, it's hard to come up with a unique name .

I have put this request in milestone 1.2.1.

I think that Homebrew Cask is a better choice.

I can handle it, but I need a name that comply Homebrew Cask's rule. And this name can't be a duplicated with a homebrew formula. As @Fil said, lepton has been taken.

What about lepton-app?

[YuerLee]

I thought about lepton-app，but I'm afraid that this name will be confused with dropbox's lepton.

@passerbyid

That's a good point.

We can put the homebrew/Homebrew Cask's instructions on README with the explicit name lepton-app . Users are likely to use homebrew/Homebrew Cask to install Lepton after the reading there, other than searching for our Lepton on homebrew directly.

For people trying to install Dropbox's Lepton, I don't think lepton-app would confuse them, since it's hard to associate Dropbox's Lepton with an app.

Okay, I have sent a pull request to homebrew-cask.

Homebrew/homebrew-cask#30575

And this name can't be a duplicated with a homebrew formula.

We don’t have any rule that prohibits a cask and a formula from sharing a name. Additionally, the token (what you use to install) is derived from our token reference, to prevent duplicates. lepton-app would not be acceptable in this case.

The cask in Homebrew/homebrew-cask#30575 has been merged.

@vitorgalvao Thanks!

[hackjutsu]

Thank you guys!

Do we need to send a new PR for each new release?

Do we need to send a new PR for each new release?

Yes. But if you use cask-repair it’s literally one command away. You can run in any directory or even as part of your deployment.

Run once (for installation and setup):

brew install vitorgalvao/tiny-scripts/cask-repair
cask-repair --help

Then whenever you update Lepton, you need only:

cask-repair -v {{new_version_here}} -b lepton

And it’ll do everything for you automatically, including submitting the PR.

@vitorgalvao Nice！Thanks for your explanation:)
