Homebrew

[neur0manc]

Could be nice to have our releases available in homebrew, so mac users can just brew install gscloud to install the client.

• Formula-Cookbook
• Acceptable-Formulae

Considering hcloud (hetzners client), google and others have their clients in homebrew it shouldn't be a problem to get ours in there as well. As an example, here's the hcloud formula.

I actually have a ready-to-go formulae here, did that last weekend. Will submit soon.

I will submit the homebrew formulae upstream as soon as #131 is fixed.

I've attached a working homebrew formula for gscloud. The only "problem" is this:

$ brew audit --new-formula gscloud
gscloud:
  * GitHub repository not notable enough (<30 forks, <30 watchers and <75 stars)
Error: 1 problem in 1 formula detected

I don't know if we should submit the formula anyway.
The generation of a new formula can and should be automated for a new release.

  end

  end
end

I would appreciate it if you submit the form anyway :)
