Homebrew recipe?

[Govinda-Fichtner]

Just wanted to ask if there is already a homebrew recipe for installing jiq on Mac OS X. If not I would give it a try...

[fiatjaf]

I don't know of any. Actually I don't know what "homebrew recipe" stands for, but it would be great to have one!

Would also try it out if this is available.

Homebrew is a package manager for macOS (think like a mac equivalent of apt).
It lets you either distribute binaries OR if there is no binary for the user's architecture, it downloads the source + deps and builds on their machine.

https://docs.brew.sh/Formula-Cookbook

You can see the entry for jid here, so I imagine jiq would be very similar
https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/jid.rb

If you're on linux, there is actually a port for homebrew, which works great due to how it lets you build from source when binaries aren't available

http://linuxbrew.sh/

It should be basically the same, just change the names.

Give a quick go writing a formula, but it seems that brew grabs the upstream of the fork rather than this project..

class Jiq < Formula
  desc "Jid on jq"
  homepage "https://github.com/fiatjaf/jiq"
  url "https://github.com/fiatjaf/jiq/archive/0.6.0.tar.gz"
  sha256 "db070dee12bb292e8d79a509f41b1c22a2afe17969c4b5065871b41102888ef2"

  depends_on "go" => :build

  def install
    ENV["GOPATH"] = buildpath
    ENV["GO111MODULE"] = "on"

    src = buildpath/"src/github.com/fiatjaf/jiq"
    src.install buildpath.children
    src.cd do
      # this will throw as it actually grabbed jid and not jiq
      system "go", "build", "-o", bin/"jiq", "cmd/jiq/jiq.go"
      prefix.install_metafiles
    end
  end

  test do
    assert_match "jiq version v#{version}", shell_output("#{bin}/jiq --version")
  end
end

Bump

@shhac Can you give your formula another go with the new 0.6.1 release? It looks like the release you were targeting was created all the way back in 2016, presumably before this fork was created. 0.6.1 was created 14 days ago, so it should be good to use.

Any news on this?

[fiatjaf]

I'm waiting for someone to do it, because I have no idea of how to do it.

Maybe just publishing binaries for MacOS would suffice?

EDIT: binaries are already published.

This is the formula I used based off of @shhac original formula:

class Jiq < Formula
  desc "Jid on jq"
  homepage "https://github.com/fiatjaf/jiq"
  url "https://github.com/fiatjaf/jiq.git",
      tag: "v0.7.2",
      revision: "5dec899436617c8f30cb1526dc76108dc8486cbf"
  head "https://github.com/fiatjaf/jiq.git", branch: "master"

  depends_on "go" => :build

  def install
    ENV["GOPATH"] = buildpath
    ENV["GO111MODULE"] = "on"

    src = buildpath/"src/github.com/fiatjaf/jiq"
    src.install buildpath.children
    src.cd do
      system "go", "build", "-o", bin/"jiq", "cmd/jiq/jiq.go"
      prefix.install_metafiles
    end
  end

  test do
    assert_match "jiq version v#{version}", shell_output("#{bin}/jiq --version")
  end
end

If you want the lastest changes on master, run brew install ./jiq.rb --HEAD otherwise just run brew install ./jiq.rb after saving the above codeblock as a file jiq.rb.
