Homebrew tap: pgpb

My personal Homebrew tap.

Formulas

To register a tap in Homebrew do:

brew tap pgpbpadilla/pgpb 

GnuPG 2.2.41

TL;DR;

brew install gnupg@2.2.41

Background:

1. After running an upgrade with homebrew, the package gnupg was upgraded to the latest stable version: 2.4

2. gnupg@2.4 introduces changes that breaks Emac's EasyPG:

   • google: emacs org gpg hangs: https://stackoverflow.com/q/76388376/400544
   • BEGIN_ENCRYPTION status output happens later in 2.4.1 (breaks Emacs's EasyPG): https://dev.gnupg.org/T6481

3. In my private computer I was able to downgrade to 2.2.41, which made everything work, thanks to https://stackoverflow.com/a/76404609/400544

4. a couple of weeks later, my work computer broke too, same scenario, brew upgrade installed gnupg@2.4.1

5. uninstalled 2.4.1

6. installed brew install =gnupg@2.2, however, this time the version installed was not 2.2.41 but 2.2.42 which is also broken

7. since minor versions are not versioned formulas, i.e., they don't show when you do:

   brew search gnupg
   
   gnupg
   gnupg-pkcs11-scd
   gnupg@1.4
   gnupg@2.2
   pgpbpadilla/pgpb/gnupg@2.2.41
   gnu-go
   

8. I ended up creating this formula to install gnupg@2.2.41

9. Install it from the tap:

   brew install gnupg@2.2.41
   

Midnight Commander

This Homebrew tap started with the need to install of Midnight Commander (MC) that is free from the bug described in #4356: Subshell returns to panels view on key press (any key).

Beware that this tap will install a very old version of MC.

To install MC, simply do:

brew tap pgpbpadilla/pgpb
brew info pgpbpadilla/pgpb/midnight-commander
brew install pgpbpadilla/pgpb/midnight-commander
