Experimental support for Homebrew Core on ARM32 Linux
This repo mirrors the main Homebrew core repo as much as possible, only making concessions to stuff that can no longer be built under ARM32 Linux. I'll provide bottles to the best of my ability.
How do I install these formulae?
From a working Homebrew installation, you first need to change the GitHub remote for the core repo:
# Stop `brew` from complaining about the unusual repo URL
export HOMEBREW_CORE_GIT_REMOTE=https://github.com/gromgit/homebrew-core-armv7l_linux
rm -fr $(brew --repo homebrew/core)
brew tap homebrew/core https://github.com/gromgit/homebrew-core-armv7l_linux
Then just brew install <formula> as usual.
You should also add export HOMEBREW_CORE_GIT_REMOTE=https://github.com/gromgit/homebrew-core-armv7l_linux to your shell's startup file, otherwise brew doctor will warn you:
Warning: Suspicious https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core git origin remote found.
Why is XYZ not the latest version?
Any or all of the following:
- I don't have a Github-scale infrastructure to build ARM32 Linux bottles, and since there are easily a few dozen new Homebrew releases each day, it may take a while for me to catch up.
- The latest XYZ may not be available on ARM32 Linux--this will be noted in the Caveats section of
brew info XYZ.
Hey, something's not working right.
If you find any problems, please open an issue here. Do NOT file an issue in the main Homebrew core repo, they have nothing to do with this.
It's just not my cup of tea. How do I revert to the original Homebrew core?
unset HOMEBREW_CORE_GIT_REMOTE
rm -fr $(brew --repo homebrew/core)
brew tap homebrew/core
