After some testing, let me elaborate:

> brew install font-prociono
Error: linuxbrew/fonts/font-prociono is a head-only formula.
To install it, run:
  brew install --HEAD linuxbrew/fonts/font-prociono
> brew install font-amiri --HEAD
Error: No head is defined for linuxbrew/fonts/font-amiri

This is inconsistent and annoying. Can we do anything so that the user doesn't have to constantly guess whether --HEAD is needed or not?

It is a good question. The upstream, homebrew-cask-fonts, provides recipes called casks, which is information to download fonts.

Let me note the following.

  • We can only install something with HEAD option if there is no SHA256 code in the formula.
  • We can install all fonts without HEAD option even if there is no SHA256 code in the cask.

Thus, we fix to treat this difference to convert casks to formulae.

If the SHA256 code defined in the cask of the upstream repository, then we can convert the cask to the formula, which is installable without the HEAD option by our project.

There are SHA256 code in some casks but there are not in almost casks unfortunately.

We has two options,

  • To use HEAD option for such casks
  • To add SHA256 code by ourselves like downloading the fonts and calculating the SHA256 code.

Since the last option takes so long time, we decide to provide two kinds of formulae.

Thank you for asking the nice question.
