Homebrew tap for awsd

This repository maintains a homebrew tap for awsd. For instructions on installing awsd please see repository here.

brew tap radiusmethod/awsd
brew install awsd

Casks/awsd.rb is generated

As of awsd v0.4.0 this tap ships a cask carrying prebuilt binaries, not a formula that compiles from source. Casks/awsd.rb is written by GoReleaser from .goreleaser.yaml in the awsd repository.

Do not edit Casks/awsd.rb by hand. The next release overwrites it. To change the cask, including its caveats text, edit homebrew_casks in awsd's .goreleaser.yaml.

Updating Tap

Tagging a release in awsd is the whole process. GoReleaser builds the binaries, publishes the GitHub release, and pushes an updated Casks/awsd.rb straight to main here. There is no Pull Request to review and no renovate bump to wait for.

The push needs the HOMEBREW_TAP_GITHUB_TOKEN secret in the awsd repository, holding a token with write access to this one. If that token is missing or expired the release still publishes and only the tap update is skipped, so a release that appears green can still leave this repo on the old version. Check that Casks/awsd.rb moved after each release.

Testing tap

Homebrew no longer accepts a file path for either of these, so both take the qualified cask name and read from your local clone of the tap:

brew audit --cask radiusmethod/awsd/awsd     # silent means it passed
brew install --cask radiusmethod/awsd/awsd

Those read the tap clone Homebrew manages, not this working copy. To test an uncommitted change, edit it there:

brew --repo radiusmethod/awsd    # /opt/homebrew/Library/Taps/radiusmethod/homebrew-awsd

To reproduce what a release would write without publishing anything, run this in an awsd checkout and read dist/homebrew/Casks/awsd.rb:

goreleaser release --snapshot --clean --skip=publish

Upgrading from the formula

Homebrew does not cleanly move an installed formula to a cask of the same name. If brew upgrade complains, reinstall:

brew uninstall awsd
brew install radiusmethod/awsd/awsd
