Add kscript to Homebrew

[henrik242]

Homebrew is the most used package manager on macOS: https://brew.sh/

A big +1 to this, it seems like people opted in to homebrew don't have much option e.g. mylibrary -> kscript -> kotlin. I can help set this up, it's just a trivial github repo

e.g. https://github.com/yschimke/homebrew-tap

A tap is good, even better to get it added upstream

[yschimke]

For now https://github.com/yschimke/homebrew-tap/blob/master/kscript.rb

$ brew install yschimke/tap/kscript

Thanks, this looks easier than I thought. We could add this kscript.rb to the release branch of the kscript repo. Would brew be clever enough to update kscript when the files has changed, so can we do something like brew update --include-taps?

[yschimke]

IIUC this work via

username/collection/project -> https://github.com/[username]/homebrew-[collection]/blob/master/[project].rb

So it's hard to have it in the same repo you use for development. But you could certainly update the file on every release and then yes, brew will let people know updates are available.

I followed your suggestion. See https://github.com/holgerbrandl/kscript/blob/master/README.md#installation-with-homebrew

Feel welcome if there's any issue with my first tap

Worked fine for me!
