homebrew recipe

[jeroenvandijk]

A basic packaging script for Mac users. I've tested it on a colleague and myself.

It can be used via:

brew reinstall --verbose --force --HEAD https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jeroenvandijk/closh/feature/homebrew/packaging/closh_zero.rb

closh
$ (println "hello")
hello

It could probably be more generic, but I don't know much about homebrew recipes. The test block also doesn't seem to work. I've added fish as dependency because of #99

Note --verbose --force are not necessary but keep things up to date and help debugging

[jeroenvandijk]

Hehe looking at install process of some of my collegeaus, distributing an uberjar directly would speed up the install process a lot

[dundalek]

Cool, #99 is fixed now so we can remove the fish dependency.

As for the binary name I would probably suggest using closh-zero-jvm instead of just closh.

It is longer to type but I think it has benefits of possibility to use multiple flavors at the same time (like closh-zero-lumo and closh-zero-planck if it gets ported) and better future compatibility. What do you think?

[jeroenvandijk]

Yes, good points, I fully agree. It is also easy to create your own alias or set it as your default shell, should the name be too long.

Since the implementations and requirements of the different flavors are so different I think it's a good idea to isolate the (homebrew) recipes as well. In the examples I don't see projects with several recipes, so I'm guessing there is some way to define sub recipes. I'll look into that. Otherwise it would mean that the recipe has to be named closh-zero-jvm.rb instead of closh.rb. What do you think here?

[dundalek]

It looks like those sub recipes could probably utilize formula options.

And once we tag a release and build uberjars for download, we could add the uberjar option for simpler and faster installation.

I tried to install this brew recipe and it failed. Here is the output:

Andrews-MBP:~ imagio$ brew install --HEAD closh_zero

I think the recipe could be changed to download the jar from the releases and depending only on java (without the need for boot). I'm not on mac so any help is appreciated.

I wrote a bash script gh-get-bin to download the latest closh-zero.jar with. It depends on JSONPath.sh which I install with gh-install by running gh-install mclarkson/JSONPath.sh JSONPath.sh ~/bin/ on my system. However, almost forgot that JSONPath.sh requires gawk to run, so I'm not sure if this would help.
