Consider importing into Homebrew about homebrew-command-not-found HOT 18 CLOSED

It still needs some work to be considered stable but I’d be glad to import it when it’ll be. We’ll need a way to automatically update the file database (by the bot?) instead of the manual brew which-update I use right now.

I need to clean up the tapped formulae (outside of homebrew/* taps) and to fix #2.

from homebrew-command-not-found.

Both issues have been fixed now.

Yeh, the main thing is that file and where we keep it. I'm wondering if Git is the best place. Then again, it's text and unlikely to change.

from homebrew-command-not-found.

Yes, it doesn’t need to be versioned and we could upload it on some host (e.g. Bintray) but when should it be updated on the client side? Having it in a tap means it’s updated when people run brew update, but it needs to be versioned for that 😕

from homebrew-command-not-found.

Yeh, hmm.

Note we now have Zsh support thanks to @xu-cheng 😄

@bfontaine May I ask how do you update the data? A bot or manually?

from homebrew-command-not-found.

@xu-cheng Manually with a script. When I run brew update I check if they are new formulae, if so I install them, run brew which-update executables.txt, commit and push. I’m considering a bot but don’t have the time to work on it right now.

from homebrew-command-not-found.

OK. When you consider a bot, I'm more than happy to add a webhook in Homebrew repo for it. I recently wrote a Homebrew twitter bot which you can use it as a reference if you want.

Great, thanks!

Or get it into brew-test-bot

from homebrew-command-not-found.

It should be a combination of brew test-bot and a separate bot. brew test-bot is responsible to record the executable files and store them in temporary place, while a separate bot is used to update the database when PR is merged.

At the very least we could pull this into the Homebrew organisation for more visibility.

from homebrew-command-not-found.

Done.

from homebrew-command-not-found.

Thanks!

from homebrew-command-not-found.

wait, if this is done, why is it still open? or is it done? or is it open? i'm confused. clarification is needed, as sorin-ionescu/prezto#847 depends on this being resolved, up here (upstream).

from homebrew-command-not-found.

@mralexgray I moved the repo under the Homebrew organization; but having this feature into Homebrew itself requires significant work so it won’t happen in the near future.

from homebrew-command-not-found.

Closing this issue out as it's a longer-term plan but not happening imminently.
