pgutil brew package

[layfield_8963]

Hi,
I was wondering if you would be interested in hosting a brew cask of pgutil? My attempt to add it to Homebrew was denied due notoriety

I've already created a basic cask file for you to use as a starting point: brew file

Thanks

Hi @layfield_8963 ,

About the only knowledge of "homebrew" I have is that it's some kind of thing on Mac, perhaps like apt or chocolatey. I think we'd normally be all about hosting a "cask" or "keg", but I don't think that's what you're asking

It doesn't make sense for us to try supporting an ecosystem we know so little about. That's the same reason we never did a Chocolatey package on our own, but our friend @steviecoaster from Chocolatey created/maintains the proget package at chocolatey.org, and that has worked out just fine.

Anyway if you just need "something simple" from us like accepting a (simple) pull request or editing a build/deploy script, we might be able to do that. But otherwise it won't make sense for us to invest in learning about brew and supporting it.

Cheers,
Alana

If you could host the cask, that would be perfect. I'm happy to keep using it within our company's Git repo, but I think more people might benefit if it were hosted on your GitHub

Something like "Inedo/homebrew-pgutil"? The only maintenance would be updating the version tag.

Thanks

Hi @layfield_8963 ,

Thanks that makes sense -- since you've already got a personal repo going, I think it makes sense to stick with that for now. If other users are interested, we can explore it.

We publish pgutil pretty regularly, so we'd need to automate updating that repository and that's just one more script t write and one more thing to break later :)

Thanks,
Alana
