Automate Homebrew releases

[vladimyr]

Automatically bump Homebrew formula using Github action https://github.com/mislav/bump-homebrew-formula-action 🎉

@orhun You are listed as maintainer of the AUR package, would adding something like this https://github.com/ATiltedTree/create-aur-release be helpful to you? I'm not sure about security implications tho 🤔

I'm maintaining dog with my other packages so it's not a problem for me. I can add the author as the co-maintainer or drop the package for him to adopt if there's a plan for setting up CD for AUR.

It's up to @ogham at this point.

Thanks for taking the time to reply, that sounds great! So let's see what @ogham says about this - I'm just exploring/presenting options.

Sorry, I'm not sure what's expected of me here!

In general I try to keep packaging instructions and config files for a project out of its repository, as in the past, I've seen them get added and then go out-of-date without me noticing.

@ogham Those are not packaging instructions. Packaging instructions live here:

• Homebrew → https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/dog.rb
• AUR → https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=dog-dns-bin and https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=dog-dns-git

What this PR does is establishing a Github workflow that gets executed on a new tag being pushed. It automatically opens PR in homebrew-core with formula SHA256 and (Github archive) URL changes. So it can't really go out-of-date because it is just an automation layer that isn't supposed to change in the future.

Additionally, I proposed to do the same wiring for AUR using https://github.com/ATiltedTree/create-aur-release

I guess what I'm expecting of you here is to express your opinion on my proposal(s) and optionally set this automatic Homebrew formula updating in motion by merging this PR 🙃

Hi, sorry about the delay on this one. Right now I don't want to use GitHub Actions as I would prefer to use my own infrastructure. I get that it just opens a PR, rather than doing packaging like I thought, but it's still using third-party services and code and I'd rather avoid that if possible.
