update brew formula to work with 9.0.3

[yogurtearl]

Describe the bug

brew install mermaid-cli does not install the latest version.

See
Homebrew/homebrew-core#100192
and Homebrew/homebrew-core#83338

Need to update the formula to work with Apple silicon, and possibly make the formula mac-only (no linux support)

@yogurtearl you are welcome to create a PR. I will gladly review it 😄

@yogurtearl I am not sure what exactly changes are needed to be applied to mermaid-cli project. One thing I can imagine could be to create a PR against the homebrew every time we make a CLI release, but that is a lot of work so help is needed. Regarding the other part of the comment and possibly make the formula mac-only (no linux support) - I have no idea what you mean.

could use brew bump-formula-pr from you GH action workflows on every release to automate the process.

been awhile since I wrote that and not sure what I meant either... 😅

[MindaugasLaganeckas]

Unfortunately, I do not have mac, where I could experiment and implement the solution. If you create a PR for it, I will gladly accept it 😄

Bump. 🙂

Right now brew install mermaid-cli gives me this warning:

Warning: mermaid-cli has been deprecated because it installs a pre-built copy of Chromium!

Unfortunately, mermaid-cli requires puppeteer, which requires either Chromium or Firefox. And since both Chromium and Firefox are not yet available as Homebrew Formulae (they're just Casks), the Homebrew team has decided to deprecate meramid-cli, see Homebrew/homebrew-core#100192 (comment):

Closing based on decision from Homebrew side.

The way forward for mermaid-cli formula would be an external Tap, perhaps maintained by upstream or someone else. If one is created, it can be considered for documentation at https://docs.brew.sh/Interesting-Taps-and-Forks

I'm going to close this as won't fix, since the Homebrew team has said they won't be accepting updates to the mermaid-cli formula.

The homebrew team thinks mermaid-cli could be turned into a Tap. https://docs.brew.sh/Acceptable-Casks#rejected-casks also says that it might be accepted as a Cask, despite being a CLI software.
